You can add the Countdown Timer study directly to a Trading DOM. Refer to the following: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Adding Studies on a Trade DOM Are you looking for something special to actually get a "countup timer"?

I am looking for the countdown timer to countdown from x-seconds to 0 after open. Example, - Treasury/Bond market opens at 8:20 AM EST - Suppose i want to know when 30 seconds are complete after open - Countdown timer should start to countdown from 30 to 0 as soon as it is 8:20 AM EST i did not see how to achieve this with countdown timer study. Countup timer can also work if i can set it to countup from 0-30 after market open |

There is not a study that counts from a particular time. The Countdown Timer is for each bar. To have a "countup timer" that give you the number of seconds since a particular bar start time, and only for that bar, then add the "Spreadsheet Formula" study and enter a formula like the following: =IF(BARTIME = TIME(08, 20, 00), (FRACTIME(NOW()) - BARTIME) * 24 * 60 * 60, 0) You may want to hide the Spreadsheet Study and use the "Text Display for Study" to actually display the information where you want it.

To add this to a DOM, first put the Spreadsheet Formula study on a chart for the same symbol as the DOM. You will need a chart since you are wanting to reference a specific bar time. Note that since you want 30 seconds of timing, the Bar Period needs to be no less than 30 seconds (1 minute or higher timeframes are fine), you just need to ensure that you have a bar at 08:20, which should be the case if your Session Times are set to start at 08:20. Then you can use the "Text Display for Study from Chart" to display the information on the DOM.
