Engineering: I use a 5 minute chart, which I manually switch between timeframes via the keyboard. I sometimes forget to switch back to 5 minute as I flip between charts in my chartbook, which can cause real problems in reading the market. I really need to see the Bar Period displayed, similar to the Symbol Study, so I do not ever mistake the 15 minute, for example, for a 5 minute. I searched the support board for a solution, but it would seem that combining this w/ the Symbol Study, or a separate Study similar to the Symbol Study are possible solutions. Thank you.

Engineering, Has this been completed by SC yet? If not, may I suggest this as a long-standing [Feature Request] ? Thanks.

This will work: Add the Bar Time Duration study to the chart and hide the study. Add the Text Display for Study study to the chart, referencing the Bar Time Duration study. Set the colors, font, and location as needed. Set the Subgraph Columns Back to 1 (so the study reads the prior bar, not the current bar). Set the Value Format to Time in the dropdown menu. The format will be 00:05:00, or 00:15:00, etc. For a quick visual reference it will do the job. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-02 11:53:46

Looks almost good for me. Is there any method to display Bar Time only in seconds. It should be fine for me to display the 1 minute 30 sec Bar Time 90 sec. I'm looking for a study which convert time into seconds.

I'm looking for a study which convert time into seconds. Try this: Add the Spreadsheet Formula study, and use a formula like this in its Formula field: =ID2.SG186400 where ID2 is the Bar Time Duration study. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-03 13:04:37*

Is there a way to use this that includes a Daily time frame as well? The time frames in minutes display but when using Daily or Weekly it does not. Any ideas?
