Bar Timer Hybrid

Updated and very different version of my original BarTimerFlashFusion code from 2017. Downloaded over 5,000 times so I guess people liked it.

Kindly adapted by Patrick_H of NinjaTrader when NT8 first came out.

IMPERATIVE - REMOVE ANY PRIOR VERSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING.
There is an explanation video here.

This version adds 4 things

1.Tick and Volume Counters are now an option - so all your timers / counters in one indicator.
2. The Flash and Sound Alert features have been upgraded significantly - with the use of Gradient Colors especially.
3. Addition of an 'Alternative Clock" eg Eastern Standard Time,Sydney Time, etc
4.The ability to move the Bar Timer around the screen via a key combo - no need to right click and select an enum.

Known issues
1. Will occasionally fail/give weird output if your computer clock gets out of sync ( about twice a year in my case) - please google how to sort this it's very simple.URL link is
in the notes at the top of the code to fix this
2. Can run on BarClose BUT needs firsttickofbar to compute. If you use the Tick Or Volume counter it must run on each Tick , obviously!

Special callout to #jeronmymite for helping me sort out the gradient colouring.

Bar Timer Hybrid v2 is almost a complete re write.
Changes are
1.Tick,Volume,Time and Range based charts are now all catered for.
2. Can look at counter/timer as a numeric value or a % of time left/remaining.
3. User no longer needs to specify what kind of chart it is - code automatically picks it up
4. Can display a Clock in a different time zone to that of the user eg Eastern Standard Time in New York
5. Alert near the beginning of a new bar via sound or various "flashing" objects such as the whole panel.
6. User may rotate the indicator to 8 different points on the chart panel via a key combo.
7. Additional info on a useful indicator to show Data Lag between your PC and the Exchange PLUS it will
automatically sync your PC clock in real time. FREE.
8. New Explanatory video here

Version 3 additions ( special thanks to Jedlikone for the code)

1. Added text outline for easier viewing
2. Added new timer so that the indicator ticks every second ie independent of OnBarUpdate - works much better now.
3. Removed some minor variables and added serialization to the gradient colors.

NB this will replace your existing Bar Timer Hybrid code​

Additional features - please remove prior versions before downloading. This is a significant upgrade.
1. new Price Axis counter
2. Can rotate indicator around the Chart Panel using Key codes
3 .Some bug and format fixes
4. Re organized properties window
5. Clock and counter are now separate items with their own coloring.
6. added single figure format ie last 10 seconds

As ever - any bugs / improvements please let me know - Mindset on NinjaTrader.
Happy Trading.

Futures, options, foreign currency, digital asset, and event contract trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. An investor may lose all or more than the initial investment.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

NFA Rule 2-29(c): Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
