Overview
KS Candle Countdown Timer is a simple, clean visual countdown timer for MetaTrader 5 that shows the remaining time until the current candle closes. It displays the countdown in MM:SS format directly on the chart, positioned near the current price line.
It is particularly useful for:
Scalpers and day traders who trade based on candle closes
Traders who want to know exactly how much time is left before a new candle forms
Anyone who prefers a large, easy-to-read timer instead of looking at the small time axis
