LZ Multi Candle Timer
- Indicatori
- Lukasz Tomasz Zychal
- Versione: 1.16
LZ Multi-Timeframe Candle Timer displays the remaining time before the current bar closes for multiple timeframes simultaneously on a single dashboard. Monitor up to 9 timeframes (M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN1) without switching charts. The indicator uses server time, updates every second, and is optimized for smooth display with minimal CPU use.
Feature highlights
- Multi-timeframe display: select which timeframes to show (M1 through MN1) via boolean inputs. Display only the intervals you need.
- Layout options: vertical (default, stacked list) or horizontal (single row). Logo positioned above the list for top corners, below for bottom corners.
- Selectable location: place the dashboard in any of the four chart corners (Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left, Lower Right). X/Y offsets and padding are configurable.
- Alarm colour: when fewer than X seconds remain (default 10), the timer text for that timeframe switches to an alarm colour (default red). Threshold and colour are configurable; you can disable this.
- Optional sound alarm: play a sound (e.g. alert.wav) when any timer is in the alarm state. Cooldown avoids repeated alerts; sound file is configurable.
- Customisable appearance: label colour (e.g. "H1:", "M5:"), clock colour, font size, and spacing are adjustable. Logo and author footer can be shown or hidden.
- Lightweight: timer-based updates, no tick dependency; works consistently even when the market is quiet.
