Displays the current time, optionally with visual annotation for upcoming events such as market close, economic announcements, etc.
This is primarily useful for live data-driven discretionary trading as a very-visible live clock for keeping track of where you're at in the trading day; e.g. relative to market close.
However, it can also be data-driven to display a historic time which can be useful when - for example - constructing a market replay of a historical event. Multiple clock widgets can also be added to a dashboard page and set to different timezones for an easily customizable world clock for the markets/timezones you're active in.
