I believe that technology is one of the main competitive differentiators in the modern financial market. While many traders still rely exclusively on manual analysis and emotional decision-making, the use of automation, algorithms, and intelligent systems allows for more precise, fast, and - Version: 1.2
TrendSync Time Alarm turns your chart into a precise, dependable clock. Set an interval and it alerts you - on screen, by sound, on your phone, or by email - the moment each time block is reached.
Because it runs on a built-in timer instead of waiting for price ticks, it fires on time even in a quiet or illiquid market, when tick-based alerts go silent. It is a lightweight utility with no buffers and no plots, so it adds virtually no load, and it works on any symbol and any timeframe.
KEY FEATURES
• Tick-independent timing - driven by a 1-second timer, so alarms arrive on schedule whether or not price is moving.
• Any interval, in minutes - 5, 15, 30, 60, or any custom value you type, such as 55.
• Candle-grid synchronization - in Clock mode the interval is counted from midnight, so 5 / 15 / 30 / 60-minute alarms land exactly on candle boundaries.
• Three alignment modes - Clock (from 00:00, the candle grid), Hour (from the top of the hour), and Attach (from the moment you load it).
• Offset control - shift every alarm by a chosen number of minutes. Example: interval 60 + offset 55 fires at :55 of every hour, a 5-minute warning before each H1 candle closes.
• Day-of-week filter - enable or mute each day, Sunday through Saturday, independently.
• Optional hour window - restrict alarms to a time range, for example a single trading session; the window can wrap past midnight.
• Server or local time base - align to broker/server time (which matches your candles) or to the machine's local clock.
• Four notification channels - on-screen alert popup, sound file, mobile push, and email, in any combination.
• Custom message text - label the alert however you like.
• On-chart status panel - shows the interval, offset, time base, alignment, current time, the exact next alarm time, and whether it is armed or paused.
• No duplicate firing - fires once per time block; it never spams or replays missed alarms when a muted day or window becomes active again.
WHAT YOU CAN USE IT FOR
• Candle-close alerts - know the instant an M15, H1, H4, or daily candle closes.
• Session reminders - a ping at the London or New York open or close, using the hour window.
• Pre-close warnings - with an offset, get alerted minutes before a candle closes, in time to manage open trades.
• Routine and discipline - step away from the screen and let the chart call you back only at your decision points.
• Scheduled checks - any repeating, time-based reminder tied to the chart.
INPUTS
• Interval - alarm interval (minutes), offset (minutes), alignment, time base.
• Days of week - individual toggles for Sunday to Saturday.
• Hour window - enable, start hour, end hour.
• Notification - alert, sound (and sound file), push, email, message text.
• Panel - show or hide the on-chart status panel.
QUICK START
• Attach TrendSync Time Alarm to any chart.
• Set the interval and choose an alignment - Clock is recommended to stay in sync with candles.
• Pick your notification channels and, optionally, the active days and the hour window.
• Confirm the next alarm time shown on the status panel.
NOTES
• Mobile push notifications require your MetaQuotes ID in the terminal (Tools > Options > Notifications).
• The "Server" time base follows your broker's server clock, which is what the chart's candles use - choose it to stay aligned with candle boundaries.
• Intervals that do not divide evenly into an hour, such as 55, cannot stay fixed to the same point every hour; this is expected behavior, not a flaw.
