Displaying Bid-Ask Spread and Customizing a B-Clock Indicator

Summary

This document describes a modified B-clock indicator for a trading platform. It adds user controls for the indicator’s font, color, and size, and displays the spread as the difference between ask and bid prices. The clock presents timeframe information, with a formatting adjustment for four-hour and longer timeframes.

The notes also mention a bug fix related to deinitialization. They provide no code, test results, trading rules, or evidence that the display improves decisions or execution. The indicator is a visual utility rather than a strategy, and its usefulness depends on the trader’s platform and need to monitor spread and timeframe information.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays the spread as the ask price minus the bid price.
• Users can customize its font, color, and size.
• For four-hour and longer timeframes, the display uses an hours-minutes-seconds format.
• The document reports a deinitialization bug fix but gives no testing details.
