MT5 feature suggestions (clock + countdown to bar close)

 

Windows MT5 platform should have a built-in Countdown to Bar Close just like the iOS mobile app. This would be much better than having to use an indicator which decreases overall chart performance (more memory usage) during high volatility period.

Another feature I think would be great is to implement a built-in clock with two time.
One for computer/device that you're using, second for the server time.
This could be placed top right corner just below MQL5 community/Achievements button

Doesn't need one. Just code an indicator
