Bar timer

[nicko9]

I have selected thsi indicator in a column in a market analyzer window.

How do I interpret the values returned which cover a range of values betweemn 99.150 and 5770.0 depending omn the instrument. I set the value to 60 minutes

please see attached file

I have the same indicator in a chart and it makes perfect sense. Incidentally the placement for the bar timer is the same as for the tick counter. If both are included in a chart they over-write and can't be read.

thanks

The BarTimer indicator is not designed to run in the Market Analyzer but only on chart.

Is there any way of making an alert if an indicator is below a certain value, and there is only 1 minute left of the current bar? I thought about using the market analyzer, but presumably this won't work if BarTimer can't be used.

Sure, but this would require custom coding in NinjaScript.

Would that mean creating a custom strategy?

No, you would need to create a custom indicator:
- one plot
- set plot value to 0 if alert condition false
- set plot value to 1 if alert condition true
- throw indicator on MA and add alert to trigger if indicator value == 1
