B-Clock Indicator

The B-Clock Indicator for MT4 is a simple yet powerful tool that displays the remaining time before the current candlestick closes. Instead of mentally calculating how many seconds or minutes remain, this alpha-numeric countdown clock shows the exact time left on the active candle. This helps traders, especially scalpers and day traders, plan precise trade entries and exits.

Unlike typical technical indicators, the B-Clock Indicator does not analyze the market or generate BUY/SELL signals. Its purpose is purely to assist with timing, which is a critical component of many trading strategies. Because timing is essential for breakout entries, candle pattern setups, and momentum-based trades, this indicator becomes invaluable for both beginners and advanced traders alike.

How the B-Clock Indicator Works

The indicator shows a live countdown on the chart, displaying how long until the current candle closes and the next one begins.

For example, if the chart displays:
195 minutes 25 seconds (195.25)
This means the current candlestick will close in exactly 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 25 seconds.

This precise timing information allows traders to:

Prepare for a breakout on candle close

Confirm signals from other indicators

Time entries based on price reactions

Anticipate new market momentum at candle open

Since the B-Clock Indicator works on all MT4 timeframes, it is equally useful for:

Scalpers using 1M or 5M charts

Day traders monitoring 15M, 30M, or 1H charts

Swing traders analyzing H4 or Daily candles

Long-term traders observing Weekly or Monthly closes
