Time Scale
- Indicators
- Version: 2.10
- Updated: 14 October 2025
The indicator draws the time scale on the chart. You can specify the time offset, adjust the size and font to display on the chart (it is displaying your local time on your chart instead of MT time). You can also select the desired format for displaying the date and time.
While holding down the middle mouse button, and moving the cursor, a slider will appear on the scale.
