Market Clock HUD for Candle Timing and Trading Context

Summary

This MetaTrader 5 indicator presents a candle-close countdown alongside market context: geographic trading sessions, live spread, daily range relative to average daily range, and whether the current symbol's market is closed. The countdown changes color as the candle nears its close, and an optional sound alert can warn before that point. It can map symbols to several named exchanges, with a manual override for broker-specific tickers, and uses a text holiday calendar covering 2026–2027.

The description also outlines implementation choices, including a millisecond timer as the rendering driver, trade-server time and session information for broker compatibility, and spread anomaly detection against a rolling average. It reports no trading results or evidence that the display improves decisions. Exchange mapping, holiday data, and spread baselines may require checking against a broker's symbols, calendar, and market conditions; the page does not explain the underlying calculations in detail.

Key ideas

• The HUD combines candle timing with session, spread, daily-range, and market-status information.
• It maps symbols to listed exchanges and allows manual overrides for non-standard broker tickers.
• Spread anomalies are flagged relative to a rolling average baseline.
• The description provides features and implementation details but no evidence of trading performance.
