LocalTimePlus
- Utilitários
- Versão: 1.0
LocalTimePlus replaces MT5’s default time and price scales with a fully custom system featuring automatic local‑time correction, high‑precision crosshair display, intuitive zoom controls, and a transparent canvas rendering engine.
It completely solves the “time‑offset problem” for scalpers, short‑term traders, and users trading on overseas servers.
📌 Overview
LocalTimePlus overlays a transparent canvas on the MT5 chart and draws a custom time scale, price scale, and enhanced crosshair UI.
You can hide MT5’s default scales and fully replace them with this custom system.
