Does anyone know of a simple and clean indi that will put live updating server time to the second on a chart (without eating up too much server or local machine cpu)?

Reason: testing a new indi out and am thinking of using to scalp want to compare indi print to server time to the second.

Can see that the Market Watch window time is direct off the broker server....great. Would like to have that on the chart.

Eclock above prints time that is from local cpu I believe...

The seconds compared to bar print and Market Watch time are not the same.

I think this is what you're looking for. I use the PC time to update seconds because the server-time only updates with new ticks and it will hang. For those reasons you may see a slight lag between seconds counting and the minute change if your local PC time isn't synced with your broker time.

Thank you very much for the indicator. It however overlaps with the EA title on the top right corner of the chart. Is it possible to add X and Y distance inputs to avoid that?Thank you again
