Yes the one I found was called mph Tick Counter. However the counter appears directly above the current bar, which it distracting. Preferably, the counter would be in the bottom right-hand corner, or somewhere less conspicuous than at the current bar ---

Having a box with the count that you could move to an appropriate place would be optimal. This way everyone is happy. Style selection for box background color/transparency, font color, etc would be sweet and of course the ability to lock in place once set. I’m not a huge fan of the current time count down in the tab for the chart because it’s small and I want to be watching the sticks instead of the tab with the countdown. ---

> [@Geoffrey](#): > > I’m not a huge fan of the current time count down in the tab for the chart because it’s small and I want to be watching the sticks instead of the tab with the countdown. The original implementation of the countdown in the tab was done to handle cases where a user would have multiple charts of differing time frames open in a stack of tabs. ---

Oh, I see. In that scenario the tab presentation makes a lot of sense. Keeping that as an option, maybe a checkbox like “Display in Chart Tab” could be added to the configuration screen. ---

Time countdown is seriously flawed on 1hr chart. It counts down to bottom of the hour which makes no sense whatsoever. I realize market opens at bottom of the hour, but people use that timer to gauge when the next candle is forming. ---

We need a countdown option for both time based charts and tick charts. ---
