Can you add 'Time Elapsed' to the chart header like 'Time Remaining'

Hi, Can you add the option of "Time elapsed" since the current bar started to the Chart Header. Just like you can add 'Time Remaining' to the chart header.

This would help me in Range Bars where you don't know the time the current bar will end. If there is a option of Time Elapsed then I can know instantly how much time has past since the last range bar started.

Use the Bar Time Duration study.

If you want the value displayed on the chart, then also use the Text Display for Study study (with the Value Format set to Time).

So this "bar time duration" study is not effective when the current Range Bar has been in play for more than 24 hours. After 24 hours the "text display for this study" resets to 00.00.00 , which gives you the wrong idea about how much time really has been elapsed since this range bar was started.

Although , in the study "bar time duration" the setting "use maximum duration" is set to "No"
