Next Candle Close Display on Chart

[ketoma21]

Is there a way you can display the time of Next candle close somewhere in the chart?

Attached is an example, the time was done in MSpaint and it's not correct time

Hello ketoma21,

How about in the cursor window instead? Try out the following formula, nextBarTime.efs. It will work on any interval that is in minutes.

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle(" Next Bar Time ");
    setCursorLabelName("Next Bar");
}

var sNextBar = "";

function main() {
    var nState = getBarState();
    var nInt = getInterval();
    
    if (nState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
        var vHr = getHour();
        var vMin = getMinute();
        vMin = (vMin)*1 + eval(nInt) + "";
        if (vMin >= 60) {
            vHr = eval(vHr) + 1 + "";
            vMin = eval(vMin) - 60 + "";
        }
        if (vMin.length < 2) {
            if (vMin == "0") {
                vMin = "00"
            } else {
                vMin = "0" + vMin;
            }
        }
        sNextBar = vHr + ":" + vMin;
    }
    
    return sNextBar;
}

Hello Jason

Thank you very much, works great.

I added this line before the return function and that did the trick, now I have it in the cursor window and on the chart.

drawTextAbsolute( 0, 15, "Close: " + sNextBar, null, null, Text.BOLD | Text.BUTTON | Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM, "Arial", 12, 1 );

current time

Is there a way to incorporate the current time next to the Close of next bar you added on the chart? The current time much like the system time at the bottom left of Esig?

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Time");
    setShowCursorLabel(false)
   
}
function main() {
    var xTime = new Date();
    drawTextRelative(6, close(),xTime.getHours()+":" + xTime.getMinutes()+":"+ xTime.getSeconds() , 
                    Color.blue, null, Text.VCENTER, "MS Sans Serif", 10, 1);
    return ;
}

Time

Is there a way to incorporate the current time left for the current bar? In mm:ss format next to the Close of next bar ?

Like a countdown?
