Would it be possible to add "Time Period Length for Fixed Time" to the values that can be displayed by the above study?

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.

Well actually I want it from same chart. And I am not talking about a bar period. but the period of the volume profile. So if it is set to Fixed time lenght and I set it to eg minutes and then set minutes to 60. That 60 I would like to see as text in the chart. why? because I constantly change that (using fast change of study inputs) and thus would like to see to what it is.

You would have to create a custom study to do this.

Or someone may already have a study that does this. The user named "Ackin" in particular, might have a study that can display the Study Inputs from another study. See if you can find him and setup a Direct Message with him.

hm ok. I thought it can not be so much of an effort to add that one value to the "Text Display For Study" Study. there are lots of values available for use of VbP.
