Hi samatii
:D
datetime bar_0 [1], next_time, time_left; if (CopyTime (Symbol(), Period(), 0, 1, bar_0)== 1) { next_time = bar_0 [0] + PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_CURRENT); time_left = next_time - TimeCurrent(); Alert(TimeToString (time_left, TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS)); }

Hi samatii,
1. Open MetaEditor 5 > Click File menu > Click New > Select Custom Indicator > click next > Name your Indicator > click next > Select OnCalculate (... prices) > Click Finish.
2. Copy paste this in to inside int OnCalculate ()
datetime bar_0 [1], next_time, time_left; MqlDateTime data_time; string text, name; bool created; if (CopyTime (Symbol(), Period(), 0, 1, bar_0)== 1) { next_time = bar_0 [0] + PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_CURRENT); time_left = next_time - TimeCurrent(); TimeToStruct (time_left, data_time); // extracting time left if (Period() == PERIOD_MN1) text = data_time.day+" "; else if (Period() > PERIOD_D1 ) text = (data_time.day - 1)+" "; // converting to military time writing style if (StringLen (data_time.hour) == 1) text = text+"0"+data_time.hour+":"; else text = text+data_time.hour+":"; if (StringLen (data_time.min) == 1) text = text+"0"+data_time.min+":"; else text = text+data_time.min+":"; if (StringLen (data_time.sec) == 1) text = text+"0"+data_time.sec; else text = text+data_time.sec; name = MQL5InfoString(MQL5_PROGRAM_NAME); created = ObjectCreate(0,name, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0); if (created == true) { ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_ANCHOR, ANCHOR_RIGHT_UPPER); ObjectSetString( 0, name, OBJPROP_TEXT, text); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_CORNER, 3); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 10); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 10); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_SELECTABLE, false); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_SELECTED, false); ObjectSetString (0, name, OBJPROP_FONT, "System"); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_FONTSIZE, 30); ObjectSetInteger(0, name, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrRed); } }
3. Add this below void OnTradeTransaction()
void OnDeinit(const int why) { ObjectDelete(0,MQL5InfoString(MQL5_PROGRAM_NAME)); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
4. Compile it. If you paste those into correct places, you will have a lot of warnings but no error. Don't worry about those warnings. If you paste them wrong, you will have an errors.
