Phoenix Candle Timer Panel
- Indicators
- Version: 1.2
- Updated: 16 September 2026
Not knowing exactly when the current candle will close makes it easy to miss a planned action (moving a stop, taking a scheduled entry, checking a setup right at the close), especially on lower timeframes where a few seconds matter.
Phoenix Candle Timer Panel displays a live, second-by-second countdown to the next bar close, alongside the current symbol and timeframe, so you always know exactly how much time is left on the current candle.
How it sharpens your timing
- Live countdown to the next bar close, updated every second
- Two colour modes: candle direction (bull/bear) or time urgency (safe/warning/urgent as the close approaches)
- Optional 12-hour time format
- Configurable alert a set number of seconds before close, delivered via popup, sound or push notification
Customisation
Panel position (auto-centre or manual X/Y), colour thresholds for each urgency stage, and a hotkey to hide or show the panel instantly.
Use Phoenix Candle Timer Panel to:
- Time an entry, exit or stop adjustment precisely around the candle close
- Get an early warning before a fast-closing lower-timeframe candle
- Keep track of time-to-close without switching your eyes away from price
How to use it
1. Attach to any chart and choose a colour mode (candle direction or time urgency).
2. Set an alert a few seconds before close if you need to act right at the candle change.
3. Use the countdown to time entries, exits or stop adjustments precisely.
