Continuous no-lag Countdown Timer - Part One
This indicator counts down continuously. The indicator published by William Kreider can be found at MQL4 Code Base. Thanks to William Kreider for posting.
Many will prefer this indicator to the start-stop tick dependent variety. However, the original published code has a noticeable flaw. See below image.
A H1 chart cannot have a remaining time of 01:19:20. This should be 00:19:20.
I have attempted correction of above flaw but cannot anticipate every scenario.
Note 1:The above two indicators will not work if any other version of Countdown Timer is still on the chart. There will be a conflict of code. Before attaching one of the below indicators to a chart ensure that allother versions have been removed.
Note 2:If the indicator is placed on a market that is closed it will not be visible on the chart. When the market opens the indicator will become visible and start counting down.
Note: 3:If the Broker Time adjustment inputs-value is not correct the countdown label will either not display on the chart or will show incorrect remaining countdown time. See below.
Broker Time adjustment - Inputs Value
H4 Candles Considerations
The hour durations for H4 candles are;
0 - 4, 4 - 8, 8 -12, 12 - 16, 16 - 20, 20 - 0.
In Example One
In Example Two
These considerations should be taken into account with regards to remaining countdown time on candles greater than H1.

Replace MT4 jarring Alert Sound
The MT4 default alert sound is a jarring irritation. To replace the MT4 default alert sound with something more conducive to trading, proceed as follows:
Free sounds can be got here - https://www.freesound.org/ . Search bells, gongs, chimes etc.
Note 4: Sound bites must have .wav extension to work in MT4.
