    I'd use this daily. Worth flagging why this still hasn't shown up as a community indicator: it can't be built properly as one. ATAS keeps the chart on a fixed bar-width grid, and there's no public API to register a custom chart type or set per-bar width. The most a custom indicator can do is draw a pixel overlay that doesn't line up with the crosshair, DOM, or any other indicator — so it isn't really usable.

    Two ways to unblock it:

    1. Ship volume-width (Equivolume) candles as a native chart type, the same way range/renko/volume bars already are, or

    2. Expose a custom chart-type / per-bar-width API so we can build it ourselves.
