If you are wanting to display the Time Period for a different chart, then there is a way to do this without having to create a custom study.

Use the Spreadsheet Formula to find the time length of the bar, and then use that to display in the other chart. The spreadsheet formula would be the following in order to get the bar time in minutes:
=(BARENDDATETIME[-1] - BARDATETIME[-1]) * 24 * 60

If you know your other chart is in whole minutes, then be sure to set the Value Format of the Spreadsheet Formula to be "1", so you get integer numbers, otherwise you will get fractions of a minute (such as .998, .997, etc., since not all trades occur at all seconds within a bar period).

You would then use the "Text Display for Study From Chart" to display that information in the other chart.
