Chiming clock app
Don't know if this is useful to anybody, but this is a simple stand-alone app that I use to draw my attention to times when a candle is about to close. I do a lot of trading from the M15 chart, and rather than watch candles (and possibly have my emotions tickled!), I tend to minimize MT4 and do other computer-related stuff during the intervening 14 minutes. This app chimes a minute before each new M15 candle is about to form, reminding me to get back to MT4. In fact it will play any sound file you wish X minutes before any specified time interval.
You can install it anywhere, as it's completely stand-alone and doesn't interact with MT4 (it uses your computer's clock). The parameters should be fairly self-explanatory. You simply enter the time interval between the chimes into the second field, and the number of minutes before that, that you wish the chime to sound, into the first field. Default entries are minutes, but you can include an 'h' or an 's' (upper or lowercase) in either field and the app will treat the numeric portion of your entry as hours or seconds, respectively.
For example, if you want the chime to occur 5 minutes before every new hourly candle, you'd enter H1 (or 60) and 5 into the fields. It gets a little more tricky with H4 candles, if your computer's clock is out of sync with MT4's. For example, my br0ker's H4 candles start at 0100, 0500, 0900, 1300. 1700, 2100 hours on my computer's clock. The time from 2100 to midnight (2400) is 3 hours. Hence if I want the chime to occur 5 minutes before the start of each H4 candle, my second entry would need to be be 185 (3 hours plus the 5 minutes). Hope that makes sense.
To stop the app from running, find the little orange clock icon in your systray. Right click on it, then click Exit. It should disappear from your systray.
