Hello Support, would it be possible to have a control bar button to launch a timer pop up clock on the chart window?
Like a stop watch...


So if watching whatever level/indicator , news event one could start the timer on the chart to get the duration until it is click button stopped?

Way in the future perhaps

This would have to be created, as there is nothing in the system that does this. The closest is the "Countdown Timer", but that is to give the amount of time left in a bar.

We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request.

This is not something that we would be specifically adding. There is already support for Control Bar buttons to apply a Study Collection:
Control Bar: Control Bar Study Collection Buttons and Keyboard Shortcuts

You can create a Study Collection that contains the Countdown Timer:
Study Collections

And apply it to the chart with one step.

Not looking to count down anything....
Looking to count UP not based on bars.
