Function 2 Point Line using UNIX TIMESTAMP V1 — Indicator by RicardoSantos

experimental:
draws a line from 2 vectors(price, time)
update:
reformatted the function,
added automatic detection of the period multiplier by approximation(gets a bit goofy with stocks/week time),
example using timestamp() function.

offsetting is still bugged, i cant find a way around it atm.
