Chart Time Assistant

Chart Time Assistant puts three small time helpers in one light indicator.

Candle countdown
- Time left in the current candle. The format adapts to the timeframe: mm:ss below one hour, h:mm:ss up to a day, and days plus hh:mm on D1, W1 and MN1.
- Uses the trade server time, so the countdown keeps moving in quiet markets when no ticks arrive.
- Shown in a chosen chart corner, or next to the current price.
- Turns a warning colour in the last 10% of the candle.
- Optionally shows the current spread in points.

Day separators and weekday labels
- A thin vertical line at the start of each trading day, for a chosen number of days.
- The weekday name centred in each day near the bottom of the visible chart. The labels move with the chart when you scroll or zoom.
- The day start can be shifted from server midnight, for example to align days with a different session close.
- Separators are hidden on timeframes above a chosen limit (H4 by default) and on D1 and above.

How it works
Lines and labels are created only when a new day starts or the chart changes, not every second. The countdown updates once a second on a timer. All objects are removed when the indicator is removed.

Forex and gold
Works the same on forex pairs and XAUUSD. The spread readout is useful on gold, where spreads widen around the daily break and news. Day separators follow your broker's server day. On most GMT+2/+3 brokers that matches the New York 17:00 close used by forex and gold traders.

Countdown: show, position, corner, X/Y distance, font size, colour, warning colour, show spread.

Notes
- This indicator does not open, modify or close trades. It is a chart utility and not financial advice.
