Countdown timer for chart time bars

[dmackay41]

Is there any way of having a countdown timer on chart time bars, ie a timer to tell when a bar closes?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. This can be done via the BarTimer indicator (right click on the chart > Indicators).

Let us know if we may assist further.

Is this based on my local computer time, or is it based on server synced time?

Hello jtrading82,

Thank you for the post.

The Bar Timer Indicator will be based on your local PC Clock for all providers.

If you experience any issues, please use the steps below to change/check your Time Zone and sync the PC clock:

• Shutdown NinjaTrader
• Right-click the clock in the lower right corner of your desktop
• Select Adjust date/time
• For Windows 10 click 'Date, Time, and regional formatting' -> Then click 'Additional date, time, and regional settings' -> then click 'Set the time and date'
• Select the 'Internet Time' tab at the top
• Set the server to time.nist.gov and then click Update.
• If the message that appears says successful your PC clock should now be updated.
• If not, select a different server from the Server: drop-down and try again (repeat until one of the servers is successful)

After updating the PC clock, please restart NinjaTrader, then right-click the chart and select Reload All Historical Data.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
