FX CandleTimer

It counts down to the close of the current candle and shows the time in a filled rectangle just under the bid price.

What you can change in the inputs

• Fill colour: the rectangle uses the standard MT5 colour picker, so any colour works.
• Text colour, border colour, font and font size: all adjustable, and the border can be switched off.
• Rectangle width and height: adjust these until the box fits your chart.
• Position: the timer can sit at the right edge beside the price scale, or centred under the current candle.
• Gap below bid: moves the box closer to or further from the bid price.
• Warning colours: the box switches to a second fill and text colour (red by default) during the last 10 seconds of the candle. You can change the number of seconds or turn it off.

To install

1. In MT5, go to File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Indicators and paste CandleTimer.mq5 there.
2. Open MetaEditor (F4) and compile with F7, or just restart MT5.
3. Drag CandleTimer from the Navigator onto your chart.
