If you're a trader looking to enhance your strategy, the TimerClosingPeriod indicator for MetaTrader 5 is a must-have. This handy tool helps you keep track of the time left until the current timeframe closes, which is especially useful when you're preparing for the opening of a new candle.
For those trading on timeframes shorter than H1, the indicator also displays the countdown to the close of the current hourly candle. This feature can give you that extra edge you need in your trading decisions.

While developing this indicator, I created a class called CTimer, which you'll find in the file CTimer.mqh. It's straightforward and can be integrated into your own indicators and trading systems if you find it helpful.
To make your life easier, the indicator comes with a button
that allows you to easily enable or disable the timer feature. Just remember, you’ll need to copy both source files into the same folder before you start using it.
