"MA Length to Time Table" is a simple but very practical Pine Script indicator that displays a clean table converting Moving Average lengths into approximate real-world time (seconds, minutes, hours, or days) based on the current chart timeframe.It starts from a Base Length (default 32) and doubles it each row:32 → 64 → 128 → 256 → 512 → 1024 → 2048 → 4096

For each length, it shows: The MA period (number of bars)
The equivalent time duration on the current timeframe
