This overlay indicator provides a quick-glance panel showing:

• 🟢 Instrument name and interval

• ⏰ Real-time clock (updated per tick, including seconds)

• 📍 Current EMA value

• 📏 Distance between price and EMA

The panel color changes based on trend bias:

It’s designed to be fully customizable, with options to:

• 💰 Current balance

• 📊 Total PnL (realized + unrealized)

• 🧭 Instrument name

• 🕒 Live clock
