v21 - performance improvement through selective drawing, added detail level for get_ltf to control how many bars are fetched/processed from lower timeframe. Changed initialization process: use Profile.new(...sources...).update() for single use, or multiple update(..sources...) for continous/developing/live profiles.

Updated:
method update(this, tops, bottoms, values, end)

    end (int)

get_ltf(detail_lvl, allow_seconds)
  Parameters:
    detail_lvl (simple int): select a value between 0-4 to decrease the returned LTF. This will lead to improved detail of generated profiles, but also require significant more computing power and slow down your script. (default: 1)
