DonForex MinInfo: A Timer-Based Chart Status Display

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

DonForex MinInfo is a MetaTrader indicator for displaying basic market and chart information. It shows the current price in a large font, highlights the last digit, changes price color with movement direction, displays the spread, and estimates the time remaining until the bar closes. Its timer-based updates allow the remaining-time display to refresh even when no new price tick arrives.

The description also mentions configurable colors and positioning. It explains the indicator's display features but gives no formula for its price-direction coloring, code, supported instruments, or evidence about reliability. It is a chart utility rather than a trading strategy: the document offers no entry or exit rules, testing results, or claim that the displayed information predicts price movements.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays price, spread, and time remaining until the current bar closes.
  • A timer updates the remaining-time display even when no new tick arrives.
  • Users can adjust the display's colors and position.
  • The document describes a chart utility and provides no trading rules or performance evidence.
