Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.9
Bar Time Indicator:
This indicator measures completion of a bar in seconds and colors a historhram based on how long it takes for the bar to complete. Red <= 10s, Cyan<=20, Blue<=30s, Orange=45s, Magenta<=60, and Black >60s. These numbers can be changed to one's liking.
Short time-bars mean a fluid market participation and movement, while tall or black bars mean a grinding and stagnating market, it is like watching grass grow (in relative terms) and time for a coffee or lunch break.
The indicator will work for any type of price bars except for real time bars (minute, hour, Day, etc.). But, it is best for short term and day trading with tick, volume, etc. bars. The indicator also draws a 60-Second horizontal line and a 9-period SMA of the time. High reading of the SMA gives a visual if the market is getting lazy. Best and less stressful is to trade when bars are short and colorful.
This indicator is intended for True Elite BMT Members, please use but do not steal to sell.
This version of Ninja's Bar Timer will work with NT7.
Code will not work on NT6.5.
v3 Some Minor alterations and code tidying. Jan 24 2011.

There is a video review ( 2 mins) here.

Features
Shows Clock and Bar lapsed time.
Alerts can be visual or sound based ( or both).
Clock works independently of OnBarUpdate().
The visual alert can 'flash' the whole screen, the clock area or just the text from a user defined interval before the end of the bar.

This indicator displays the contract with the highest EndOFDay or IntraDay volume for a list of unlimited number of instruments. The volume data is fetched form BarChart.com.
I use it to identify when to switch contracts around contract Rollover time since I want to trade the contract with the highest volume. The conventional way traders generally do this is to load the current and next futures contracts in NT Market Analyzer, and watch all the volume there. This forces you to update the contracts list every month, and also takes up NT resources to continually process volume data for multiple contracts.
This indicator uses no NT resources, and you never have to update any contract lists with future contracts. You get the volume information on demand, for an unlimited number of specified contracts.
- Use the 'Symbols' parameter to specify which contracts you want to see.
- Press the 'Vol+' chart button to toggle the display of the text On/Off on the chart
Note: The coding may need to change in the future if/when Barchart.com makes changes to the format of the associated web page the data is fetched from.
Attending the Al Brooks' "Brooks Price Action" discord, I noticed that their bar numbering was only during Regular Trading Hours (RTH), and displayed just the EVEN bar numbers. For instance, for "CME Index Futures US RTH", the numbering began with the second bar after the 0930 EST open, and ended at 1700.
Many thanks to the creator of the BASIS with which I began: Bar Counter Colored, I believe it was.
Options for even OR odd numbers - doing both would take up too much space. Also spacing and coloring options for the numbers, etc., from the original script, unchanged.
Can also optionally number bars in an ENTIRE session....ETH - Extended Treading Hours, for example for "CME Index Futures US ETH".

This is a very simple strategy that will export the OHLC to a text file. The file path is hard coded because I was lazy and wrote this a long time ago, so open the code and change it or it won't work for you.
While you're in there, you'll see it is easy to get it to write any data you wish.
Is there an option to set the alarm sound to have the same property as the flash? It only sound off at the end of the ba
r.
Thanks

January 26th, 2011 09:27 PM fusion The indicator provides options for user to choose preferable alert duration, display type and flash type. It's really ni
ce!

An enhanced version in the Codex, here, with Mike's comment on Zorder/opacity.
August 28th, 2012 08:42 AM capsmart Nice job but I would like to use 10 instead of 3. It will not work.
May 3rd, 2011 05:16 PM Adamus Hi Mindset, thanks for uploading this - nicely done. Just one small issue - the "every nth bar" refuses to let itself be
set to anything but 3.
February 28th, 2011 04:15 PM jabeztrading Very handy when testing code. Thank you.
January 26th, 2011 09:09 PM fusion This is very useful indicator which indicates bar number with not too crowded intervals. Thanks to Mindset. fusion
November 26th, 2016 11:38 PM Jaba I'm not the author of this indicator but you can find the fix in this post: https://nexusfi.com/elite-circle/1261-want-yo
November 2nd, 2016 12:05 PM rcsingleton The day has come. www.barchart.com has changed the format! Can the author make the required changes to this indicator?
Thanks much!
April 13th, 2014 10:06 AM sudhirc Really Good.
Thank you.
January 26th, 2014 10:23 PM Chuck T I have used this little indicator so frequently that I felt compelled to come back and say a big THANK YOU! I had downlo
aded it months ago and couldn't find it at first, but after about two hours of searching BMT I found it again. So here i
am to thank you for this little gem that saves me so much time and prevents contract rollover headaches
December 15th, 2020 06:02 AM globoman Finally found it. Thanks a lot!!
August 15th, 2020 10:21 AM stocks29 this is a great indicator! just what I was looking for.
November 17th, 2018 03:06 PM BoltTrader Thank you! I love these that you have coded. Have you ever thought about combining your time and tick counters into on
e indicator instead of 2 separate indicators? You could also add a volume counter and it would be perfect. One indicat
or that you could save on your chart template that would work on 3 different types of charts.
