It is much easier to implement with strategy chart objects - you need to update a text object on every tick. See object creation here:

There is no guarantee that there is a tick for every second (especially in low volume periods like start and end of the week), so this is not a proper place.

Take a look on this topic, where another user just asked the same.

You can have this Bar Timer collection for free.....

It uses the Swing user interface to show when Bars close of various intervals.

It's just a JForex Strategy module. Attached is the .jfx code and a screenshot.

This code relies upon the correctness of your System Clock, so use a synchronization
service such as Meinberg NTP or similar clock synch service.

It does not rely upon callbacks to the Strategy module. Instead, it has its
own thread which periodically places an update task on the
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) queue to update the floating
graphical user interface.

In onStop() cleanup, this thread is stopped, and the user interface is
properly dispose()'d.

This will also be in JStore, just search for "hyper".

Hi HyperScalper,
May I ask why have you chosen Swing objects instead of using Draw elements from the platform? Or you wanted to have a floating window around?
For me it seems to be a better option to have everything in one place (the platform in this manner).

Another interesting fact is that you use the PC clock. Was this not a problem during usage? Maybe it is just me, but I just can't trust my PC's clock somehow, no matter what ntp config is around
