Bar timer running fine . Appreciate having it.

Small Point

This might sound picky, but would it be possible to re-position the bar timer data line from the far bottom right to the left? I find that the price bars cover the read out most of the time.

Thanks

Small Point Solved

After asking about this, I realized I forgot to check the flexibility of the indicator's inputs . . I reset it to Panel 2, and now is working beautifully.

Thanks

It is working nicely.
But is it possible to increase the font size?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Sorry, not supported at this time.

Change Bar Timer

Having the words 'Time remaining" in front of the time display takes up too much space. It seems redundant. We all need to conserve space; why not do away with this prefix?? Also, is there a need for the leading zeros representing hours?? Does anyone really use a bar timer for charts greater than an hour?

Thanks.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Thanks for your suggestions. We'll add them to the list of future considerations.

What should market open, or being connected have to do with a bar timer? It is a time countdown. Time does not stop when the market closes or when you are not connected to your broker. Here's my version of the bar timer, it is a simple countdown, it works as long as the chart is up. It counts down the amount of time specified bar the chart period, resets and restarts when it reaches 0. That's all it needs to do.

Followed your instructions, still no joy.

Before markets opened there was text on the chart to the effect that no timer was being displayed either because there was no connection or the session had not started yet. After market open there is nothing on the chart.

Small Modification?

Thanks for the bar countdown timer; could you possibly add a parameter for vertical placement (bottom/top/middle, last price, etc), and would it make sense to remove the minus ("-") prefix?

Thanks again.

Is there a way to set the timer so that it counts down the "ticks" remaining, if you are using a tick chart instead of a timed bar chart? Thanks.

Hello Jibu V,

You can apply the TickCounter indicator to your chart to accomplish this. You can select it from the indicator menu, which you can access by right clicking in the chart and select "Indicator".

Ok, with this version you can place it where ever you want on the chart by supplying offsets from the top and right edges of the chart.

I believe the version that I originally modified was based on the NT supplied TickCounter indicator, so this also works with tick charts. The only issue is that the way the NT development implemented it, it seems you have to wait at least the number of ticks of the chart period to go by before the counter is displayed. I tried 10 ticks, and the counter shows up right away, when I tried 1000 ticks, it took nearly a minute to show up. I'm sure there's a better way to do it. I haven't looked closely at that code yet.
