K_Chrono Timer ELITE
Product Type: MetaTrader 5 Indicator
Precision Timing—Directly on Your Chart
K_Chrono Timer ELITE is a professional timing utility for MetaTrader 5. It keeps essential market timing information clearly visible on the chart without placing trades or modifying your trading account.
The indicator combines four powerful timer modes, interactive controls, flexible clock sources, configurable alerts and a compact modular dashboard.
Four Operating Modes
1. Candle Close Timer
Displays the remaining time and progress of the active candle on the selected timeframe. Candle calculations always use broker time to remain correctly aligned with MT5 chart bars.
2. Custom Countdown
Runs a user-defined countdown with support for:
- Automatic restart
- Reset on a new candle
- Persistent timer state
- On-chart Pause, Resume and Reset controls
3. Daily Target Timer
Counts down to a selected target time using broker, local-computer, GMT or custom UTC time. The target can repeat daily or operate as a one-time target for the current indicator attachment.
4. Session Timer
Counts down to a trading session’s opening or closing time and displays whether the session is currently active. Both standard and overnight sessions—such as 22:00 to 06:00—are supported.

Installation
- Install K_Chrono Timer ELITE from the MQL5 Market.
- Open MetaTrader 5 and locate the product under Navigator → Indicators.
- Drag the indicator onto any chart.
- Select the required Timer Mode.
- Configure the settings related to that mode.
- Enable terminal notifications or email only if you intend to use those alert channels.
Time-Source Note
Candle Close mode always uses broker/server time because MT5 bar timestamps are broker-based.
Daily Target and Session modes use the clock selected under Time Source.
Custom-Timer Note
When persistence is enabled, the custom countdown remembers its state for the same symbol and timeframe. Use the on-chart Reset button to begin a fresh countdown cycle.
Alert Note
Push notifications and email alerts require the corresponding MetaTrader 5 terminal settings to be configured by the user.
