Is there a study or indicator that would display a timer that counts down the bar period. For instance on a one minute chart, at the open of the first candle a timer begins to count down in secs 60-0. Then repeats with the open of the next bar.

Here is the page from Thinkscript language reference that shows everything they provide in regards to date/time functions. http://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Date—Time.html There is a function called SecondsTillTime(). However this function requires a time as input. In any other platform, we have functions which return the start and/or end time of any given bar on the chart. However such bar date/time functions are absent in Thinkorswim. This leads me to believe there is no way at present to configure a countdown timer for a time based aggregation period in Thinkorswim. I would love to hear from anyone who has managed to figure this out despite the lack of the required bar data/time functions. Marked as spam

I don’t ever look at it that way. I have plenty of cases where I go back to a previous road block and find a way through. I am always learning how to conquer things I previously thought was impossible. That is just the nature of this business. Whether trading or writing code. Just keep at it until it works.
