Fully customizable and does not get in the way when you adjust the screen in MT4. I love it.

I do not care if this was coded with 1000 or 10 lines, I do not code, neither wish to - it looks great, it works great, and it is FREE. There are hundreds of these countdown timers out there, but none as reliable and customizable as this one as I had a few locking up my system, probably because they were written with like 30 lines. And as far as I am aware it does not rely on ticks but rather real clock time. Thanks for this simple, but effective product.

That timer indicator is one of the best installs on my MT4. I am a price action trader this indicator is really helpfull for my style of trading. Thank you!


Works as it should. It doesn't matter how simple it is to do or how many lines of code it takes. Someone took the time to code it and share it for free. So thanks.

This product works great No glitches, no stalling or freezing On both mt4 and mt5. Very helpful to track the candle time. Thanks for giving it free.

Good working but, sometimes freeze for a second to me. Thanks for indicator anyway!
