TrendSync Candle Time — Free Candle Countdown Timer
How long until this candle closes? Now you know — without taking your eyes off the price.
TrendSync Candle Time is a candle-close countdown that sits next to the forming candle, on the price line, and follows the market tick by tick. Simple on purpose: one number, in the right place, at the right time.
WHY THIS ONE AND NOT ANOTHER CANDLE TIMER?
There are dozens of free countdown timers on the Market. This one was built with three practical differences:
1. It follows the price. Most timers live pinned to a screen corner. Here the default mode anchors the countdown next to the current candle, at the Bid level — the information appears where your attention already is. A fixed-corner mode also exists, with corner selection and pixel fine-tuning, for those who prefer the classic layout.
2. It warns you before the close. In the final seconds of the candle (you choose how many), the number switches to your alert color and, optionally, plays a sound — once per candle, no spam. For traders who work with close confirmation, this is the feature that matters.
3. It never freezes. The countdown is driven by server-time estimation and refreshed every 500 ms. Even on a quiet symbol with no incoming ticks, the number keeps counting down smoothly.

QUICK QUESTIONS
Does it work on prop firm accounts?
Yes. It is a purely visual indicator — it sends no orders and interferes with nothing.
Does it work in the Strategy Tester?
No, and no candle timer does: timer events do not fire in the tester. It is a live-chart tool.
Does it repaint?
There is nothing to repaint — it draws no signals, it only shows the time left on the current candle.
