Hi,

Is it possible to display the time in a position from when it is opened? Similar to how I can use the countdown timer or realtime clock

Thank you,
DAn

Use the Trading Profit and Loss Text study. It has an option for Show Current Trade Time Duration. Refer to the following:

I have deleted my previous post with the spreadsheet.

It's here!
Thank You Sierra
I didn't realize that in the Trading: Profit/Loss Text Study now we can select Show Current Trade Time Duration
The guide still has to be updated, maybe it's a brand new option (using SC 2280)

Thank you for the information. We will add the information to the documentation. We have also updated our post above to reflect that this is an option.

Hello SC Support,

In regard to this post, the timer seems to stop after scaling in and out. Example: I initiated a position with half of the position size. I then add another half after. If I scale out half of the position after that, the timer would stop while I still have the other half running. I wonder if there's a workaround for this situation.

Thanks.

If it would be possible to add a flat-to-flat trade time duration function, that would be lovely!

+1 for "flat to flat trade time duration" function - this would be a brilliant addition

+1000 - as requested in the past, please include the display values as subgraphs in this study so we can access the values in our automated trading with ease.

+1 - to include a new calculation to display daily equity high/low watermark (closed trades + floating pnl of open trades). It would be extremely helpful as there is no way to show high/low watermark in trade activity log under period tab.

Yes all of the suggestions would be great !! If there is a way to have a split time as well. How long was I in the 1st lot and how long was I in the final lot.
Anyway, hope this is resolved soon.

Thanks

Hi
When I add Trading: Profit/Loss Text Study with Show Current Trade Time Duration selected And Open an Order the timer always starts at 00:10:01 and increments to 00:10:02,00:10:03......., 00:11:01,00:11:02....

How to make it start at 00:00:01?
Thanks

If you are using the Delayed Streaming Data, then this why it is starting at 00:10:00.
