Dear All,

I just wonder if, like in other platforms, there is a way to display in the chart how long is left for the candle to complete. e.g., if it is a 5 min graph, and there have passed 4 minutes since the beginning, then on the right (or somewhere else) it would be useful to see a '1 min' or '60 secs'.

The same would apply to tick charts.

In the preferences window I do not see the option to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards and Happy Pips.

I don't think so there is a built-in platform support for this.

However with some coding you can create a strategy that does the same (put a countdown on the chart).
If you need help with that, I suggest to create a separate topic in the Automated Trading->KnowledgeBase section (as this has nothing to do with Trading Platforms' Bug Reports), and start coding .

Some help as start:
You will need
a scheduler: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Threadin ... _execution
some chart object: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Create_a ... rt_objects
and some calculation:

...
IBar currentBar = history.getBar(chart.getInstrument(), chart.getSelectedPeriod(), OfferSide.BID, 0);
SimpleDateFormat countDownTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
countDownTime.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
String timeLeft = countDownTime.format(currentBar.getTime() + chart.getSelectedPeriod().getInterval() - new Date().getTime()); // put this on the chart
...

Hi,

Thanks a lot. That was helpful. I'll have a look.

Best Regards,
