Description
Is it possible to represent two candlestick charts of different time-frame using mplfinance ?
I see an example using bokeh from [this](https://kernc.github.io/backtesting.py/#example) repository.

The idea would be:
- Choose a lower-timeframe (e.g 5 Min)
- Choose a larger-timeframe (e.g 15 Min)
Then, inside each 15 Min bar would have 3 five-minutes bar

Research direction
The issue names mplfinance but no source file, entry point, or test. Start by reviewing the existing charting API and the linked backtesting.py example to determine how lower- and higher-timeframe OHLC data should be supplied and rendered. Done means a documented, tested way to show three 5-minute bars inside each 15-minute bar.
