Hi there, The Compact Tool Values Window displays time with six trailing zeros for milliseconds (As shown in the attached image), which takes up too much space. I want to remove the milliseconds and display only HH:mm:ss or HH:mm. Is there a way to adjust this setting? My SC version is 2747. Thx in advance. Regards, YW |

There is no option to change this.

The time format is correct in your documentation: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Tools.html#ToolValuesWindow, but why do mine have these annoying trailing 0s? Is it due to the version upgrade? If I can not change this format, can this field be removed from the compact tool window since more details can be shown in the tool values window? |

We think those images may have been from before we had the millisecond time stamping, which was several years ago. So what you are seeing now is how it is. There is not a way to remove that line.

Thanks for your response. I hope a future update will further improve the compact tool window, making it more concise and clean. Also, it would be great if the compact window could follow the mouse movement (hovering) to display information for each bar. This feature was requested over 10 years ago, and considering how professional Sierra Chart is, it should be fairly easy to implement. How to display Hi, Lo, Close etc on Chart Bars |

I thought that is what it already does. At least on my setup. >> Window >> Show Compact Tool Values Window When I hover with the mouse pointer on any bar I see the details OHLC amongst other values. |
