Hello, What is the best way to set an independant timer on a chart. Let say I have a 10 Range bar setup but I would like to see the countdown timer to display a 1 min countdown (which is the time frame used on a aother chart). Best regards. |

Problem solved. The solution is ok, but requires a bit of "brute force". - Chart 1 - The one chart with the time frame you want into chart 2. Add study countdown time on that chart. Call that chart Timer. - Chart 2 - Is the chart where you want the time from chart 1. Call that chart Main Chart. - Use Study Spreadsheet for Trading System in both chart. Make sure spreadsheet is the same .scss file for both chart. - Use one sheet for chart Timer. Name that sheet Timer (for example). - Use one sheet for chart Main Chart. Name that sheet Main Chart (for example). Now this is where some brute force is a bit required to acheive the desired effect: - In sheet Timer find the Countdown Timer study and it is related value (let say the value is at Row X Column AA4). - In sheet Main chart. Go to Row x Column Q, for example, assign = Timer!AA4 - Go back to the your Main chart - Open the study list you have for Main chart - In the study Spreadsheet system for Trading go to the study Subgraphs and in subgraph go to subgraph Q and set the draw style at Subgraph name and Value Only. - Uncheck Display Input value. - Go back to Settings and Input and set a new chart region. Apply and click Ok You'll have a chart region with the timer from the Timer chart into your main chart. Reduce the chart region so its thin and suffice just to see the timer. I personnaly placed it at the very bottom. Note: you'll see the time in seconds ...you can always divide thing by 60 to have it i minutes ... I just use it as a countdown timer.
