What it is
ScreenTimer4Trade is a compact on-chart panel that tells you exactly where the current bar stands and what your chart is doing — without cluttering the workspace.
For whom
Traders who time entries and exits to bar completion, on any NinjaTrader 8 chart type — not just time-based charts.
Key features
- Three-part display: center — a timer of elapsed or remaining time to bar completion, plus % to close; left — the chart type / timeframe; right — a clock (or clock + date) or candle info.
- Independent side panels — the left and right panels can be turned on/off independently of each other.
- Flexible placement — choose one of three anchor positions along the top of the chart, or a single position at the bottom; fine-tune with a horizontal offset of ± N pixels from the chosen anchor.
- Works on many bar types — Time, Tick, Volume, Range, Renko, UniRenko, Momentum (not only time-based charts).
- 18 common time zones or local time.
- Market Replay aware — the countdown speeds up and slows down together with your Replay speed.
- Status awareness — informs you about missing chart data, lost connection, or non-trading hours (market closed).
Requirements
- NinjaTrader 8. Works on any supported chart type.
