ExMachina CandleTimer Lite - indicator for MetaTrader 5

ExMachina CandleTimer Lite - Free candle countdown timer for MetaTrader 5 with the ExMachina steel palette theme.

Know exactly when the current candle closes. This lightweight indicator displays a real-time countdown directly on your chart, helping you time entries and exits with precision.

COUNTDOWN PANEL - Three display modes to choose from:

Digital Clock: Large countdown digits showing hours, minutes and seconds. Clear and readable at any chart zoom level.

Progress Bar: Visual fill indicator with percentage. See at a glance how far the current candle has progressed.

Both: Combined digital clock and progress bar for full awareness. Recommended mode.

FLASH ALERT - In the last 10 seconds before candle close, the timer alternates between amber and red colors every second. This visual urgency signal is impossible to miss, even on a busy multi-chart setup. Can be toggled on or off.

SOUND ALERT - Optional sound notification when a new bar forms. Never miss a candle close while reviewing another chart or timeframe.

ELAPSED / REMAINING - Below the timer, a compact line shows both the elapsed time and the time left in human-readable format (e.g. "45m12s elapsed - 14m48s left").

EXMACHINA STEEL THEME - Three chart theme modes:

Full Theme: Deep space background with steel-palette candles, muted grid, and institutional color scheme. Transforms your chart into a clean, professional workspace.

Opaque Only: Keeps your existing chart colours, only ensures the panel renders cleanly on top.

No Theme: Zero chart modifications. The panel overlays your chart as-is.

COLLAPSE / EXPAND - One-click toggle button in the title bar. Collapsed mode shows a compact 30-pixel strip with the brand name, symbol, timeframe, and a live countdown. Expands back to the full panel instantly. Minimizes chart footprint when you need screen space.
