Showing clock / time anywhere on chart

[adamus]

Hi,

I would like to show the clock with the current time on the chart. I run my charts maximised with the windows taskbar auto-hide feature on, so I don't see any clock for the current time.

Is there a simple option to turn on a 'Time marker' for the x-axis on the chart which behaves the same as the Price Marker on the y-axis?

Alternatively, is there an indicator similar to Bar Timer which would display a clock on the bottom edge of the chart?

Alternatively, if I want to code it myself, rather than copying Bar Timer which is quite complex, is there a recommended way to do it? Or is that usage of the 'Timer' the only way to do it?

Thanks

Hi adamus, there's unfortunately no 'current time' marker counterpart - I would simply code an indicator running COBC false and using DrawTextFixed to show the DateTime.Now (your current PC time). If you convert it to string there are some display options then, like short or long time format whatever you prefer.
