Time To Close MT5
TimeToClose-v1.01 is a must-have chart indicator that provides a real-time countdown to candle close, seamlessly integrating with your chart’s visuals. I aimed to keep it straightforward while ensuring it’s ready to roll right out of the box. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dynamic Color Adaptation: The text color automatically adjusts based on your chart theme, whether it’s the candle border or body color, keeping everything visually cohesive.
- Strategy Tester Optimization: Leveraging MQL_VISUAL_MODE detection, this feature disables rendering during non-visual back-tests via the EnableTextInVisualBacktest setting, helping to save on system resources while optimizing your strategies.
- Multi-Timeframe Support: It automatically tweaks the display format using PeriodSeconds() calculations for all timeframes, from 1-minute up to monthly.
- Customizable Display: You can tweak settings such as:
- TextFirstSeparator/TextSecondSeparator for spacing
- FontSize and TextAnchorPoint for positioning
- An optional DateTime display through ShowTimeDate parameter, which is off by default.
This indicator utilizes EventSetMillisecondTimer(1000) for precise 1-second updates while keeping CPU usage low through OnCalculate() optimizations. Visual elements are automatically cleared during EA shutdown and refreshed when you change parameters.
How to Get Started:
- Download the indicator.
- Compile it in MetaEditor5.
- Run it and watch the magic happen!
