How It Works
The utility reads the opening time of the current candle and calculates its closing time based on the selected timeframe.
Using the broker's server time, it continuously updates the remaining time, elapsed time and progress percentage.
As the candle approaches its close, the dashboard automatically changes the countdown color and can trigger user-configured alerts.
Important Information
This utility does not open trades, does not place orders and does not generate trading signals.
Its purpose is to provide accurate candle timing information to help traders improve entry and exit decisions.
Displayed times are based on your broker's server time and the selected timeframe.
