ReadableTimeframeAlerts — Library by AfnanTAjuddin — TradingView

Pine’s timeframe.period gives you raw values like “60”, “240”, “1D”, “3M” — accurate, but not something a normal user can read at a glance. If your alert says “Zone formed on 360,” most people have no idea that 360 means the 6-hour timeframe.

This library converts that raw string into a proper readable label: “60” becomes “1 Hour”, “240” becomes “4 Hours”, “1D” becomes “Daily”, “3M” becomes “3 Months”, and so on — covering minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seconds, and ticks.

I built this after running into the exact issue in my own — a user kept seeing numbers like 360 in their alerts and couldn’t tell what timeframe it referred to. This library is what fixed it, and I’m sharing it so anyone facing the same confusion can drop it into their own script.

Usage:
import AfnanTAjuddin/ReadableTimeframeAlerts/1 as tf
alert(“Zone formed on ” + tf.f_tf_label(timeframe.period))

One line, and your alert messages, labels, or tables show a timeframe users actually understand instead of a raw number.
