Chart Price Line Indicator with Candle Countdown and Market Context

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes a chart indicator that displays the latest price alongside the symbol, candle-closing countdown, and selected timeframe. It also shows the prior 24-hour percentage change and provides a time display that can use local time, GMT, or the chart’s current time setting. The indicator can show the visible chart’s current high and low, and its bull and bear colors are configurable.

The description also notes chart navigation features: arrow keys move between symbols, and a separate version supports Renko charts. These are display and workflow aids rather than trading signals or a tested strategy. The document offers no evidence about trading performance, signal validity, or market coverage beyond the stated chart features.
