Would there be a way to use some kind of custom study to see the time at a spot in the chart in the Chart Values window, for another Time Zone? For example, most of my charts are on EST - my brain is on EST too.. but my European charts are on Brussels Time. Sometimes it would be nice to see what time it is in EST on a European chart, for example when the US Markets are open. I'm guessing this is not possible but I thought I would ask just in case. |

Yes it is certainly possible to do a time zone conversion and then to display the time in a different time zone. There is a Value Format to display a Study Subgraph in a Time format which can be viewed in the Chart Values window.

Take the "Clock - Real Time" study and customize it to display in the Time Zone of your choice. See above for how to get the time to show on the Chart Values window. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-10-10 19:53:30

wouldn't using Clock-Real Time only show the current time? Or am I misunderstanding that Study?

Perhaps :) But it's the modification of the source code which should get you closer to what you want.

An even better study to modify is the "Clock" study found in the User Contributed Studies files. https://www.sierrachart.com/AdditionalFiles/UserContributedACS_SourceCode/Clock.cpp |

The 'Clock' study in the user contributed files, is giving me incorrect times for Chicago and New York, but correct for London, which is where i am. Could anybody please help to get this to work? Thanks |

Modify the source code. Look for sc.ConvertToSCTimeZone and replace it with sc.ConvertDateTimeFromChartTimeZone. Then compile it and see if it works for you :)
