Time To Close v1.01 - MT5 - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Time To Close MT5

TimeToClose-v1.01 is a chart indicator that displays real-time countdown to candle close with adaptive visual integration. I tried to make it simple, then polish it so it would work out of the box. Key features:

1. Dynamic Color Adaptation: Text colour automatically matches your theme by the candle border colour or candle body colour based on candle direction (bullish/bearish/doji), maintaining visual consistency with your chart theme.
   
2. Strategy Tester Optimization: Uses MQL_VISUAL_MODE detection to disable rendering in non-visual back-tests through EnableTextInVisualBacktest parameter, conserving system resources during optimisation.
   
3. Multi-Timeframe Support: Automatically adjusts display format using PeriodSeconds() calculations for all time-frames from 1-minute to monthly
   
4. Customizable Display: Configurable through:
   - TextFirstSeparator/TestSecondSeparator for spacing
   - FontSize and TextAnchorPoint positioning
   - Optional DateTime display via ShowTimeDate parameter (disabled by default)

The indicator uses EventSetMillisecondTimer(1000) for precise 1-second updates while maintaining minimal CPU footprint through OnCalculate() optimisations. Visual elements are automatically removed during EA termination and refreshed after parameter changes.
