I use multiple timeframes quite extensively. For that purpose I created several 
layouts (each for a different symbol) with multiple charts. Charts have the 
same indicators (setups, triggers, follow-ups, .. etc). It's interesting to 
watch how everything flows from one timeframe to another.
Unfortunately, this approach requires watching several charts at the same time. 
Our brains are not designed to do it in the most efficient way. I use four 
monitors and this is barely enough to handle two symbols (other staff requires 
some real estate too).

Since all charts use the same indicators it would be highly desirable to 
combine all the charts into one (with the lowest timeframe)as long as 
indicators values on that one chart (from multiple timeframes) are the same as 
on separate charts. AB, on every refresh, displays indicator values based on 
current values of O, H, L, C (current value) regardless whether the bar is 
complete or not. 

The existing AB's multiple timeframe functionality does not allow to implement 
the above concept, because indicators are calculated on complete bars only. One 
hour timeframe means wait 1 hour to see values of indicators (now imagine 20 
points drop on rally over that time on ES).

TJ. I wonder if there is a chance to expand the existing multi timeframe 
functionality by adding an option "Include current values".
It seems that the desired functionality is already in place, just not available 
in every place where needed.
