Clock
A lightweight overlay indicator that displays a live clock on your chart, stamped to Eastern Time (America/New_York), automatically accounting for EST/EDT daylight saving transitions.
Display Options
Time Format — Shows the current time in 12-hour format with AM/PM. Optionally enable milliseconds for sub-second precision
Date Display — Toggle on a date line above the time
Appearance
Text Color — Fully customizable via color picker.
Background Color — Fully customizable via color picker.
Clock Size — Four size options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge.
Positioning
Freely position the clock anywhere on the chart using independent Vertical (Top / Middle / Bottom) and Horizontal (Left / Center / Right) controls, giving you nine possible anchor points.
Update Behavior
The clock refreshes under three conditions — on the last bar, on any real-time tick, and on each new bar close. This means the clock remains active and updates continuously during live market hours, and still advances bar-by-bar during off-hours and weekends when no real-time feed is present.
