Description
The Digital Clock Overlay is a simple cAlgo indicator that displays a live, second-by-second clock and optional date directly on the trading chart. It analyses no market data and generates no signals — its only job is to show the current local system time.
Appearance and position are fully customisable through font size, colour, and offset settings. It suits day traders, scalpers, and news traders who need a precise, always-visible time reference without leaving the platform — particularly useful for session timing, news event countdowns, and manual trade logging.

TIME and DATE ON CHART is a lightweight utility indicator that does exactly what it promises: displaying a clean live clock and date directly on the chart. It is simple, stable, highly readable, and useful for session trading, news timing, and manual execution workflows. A practical overlay tool for traders who prefer having visible time references inside cTrader.

Not perfect, but the workflow felt cleaner. It works better with a written plan.

the signal still needs a chart check, no surprise there. It needs a few bad trades in the sample too.

the small win here is the setup needs a better reason to exist, and ugly trades need to be in the sample too.
