Custom Symbols ignore the seconds in the bar open time-stamp, because it is meant to represent M1 OHLC data.
However, the seconds are still stored in the time-stamp and can be read internally, but they are not displayed in Data Window nor the chart.

Please, elaborate. I don't know and so I don't understand much of what you are talking about. Maybe it's easier to give me a link to some documentation.
What does it mean "read internally"? Does it mean that the seconds will not be displayed but they will make a difference between several bars with the same open time-stamp?
What I need is to be able to use graphic objects on a seconds chart or, actually, make them fixed to the bars where I've placed them.

Internally means available for data calculation via coding but not possible to represent by default as MT5 dont support 1s chart
For example, you can find any countdown candle timer on codebase, By default MT5 dont support 1s chart so how come the countdown is counting bar closing in seconds? Its the definition of "read internally" as by default its impossible to make countdown possible but possible if "read internally"By default MT5 dont support 1s chart so how come the countdown is counting bar closing in seconds?
I don't know, but I'm sure I saw it!
So, it is not possible to make graphic objects on seconds chart useful?
Thank you anyway. Happy New Year!
