Basic pip/time/spread display

Hi.

I'm currently making the final transition into trading solely with a MT4 setup.
And i'm looking for a basic indicator/tool/add-on whatever you call it to show the following:

- Server time
- Local time to the second (important because i like to news trade)
- Current Price
- Current spread
Bonus:
- Time till candle close
- Daily Range

Something similar to this but as a standalone which i can move around

I think i don't have any with all those functions.
You can try loading these, setting them up as per your liking and saving as a template.
Hope it helps

thanks you for the suggestions, but really need the price to be eyecatching and big so i can see it from across the room.

There must be something out there, it would have thought these features will be the most basic

Attached is a quick hack of an indy that I originally wrote for PeterE.

Fields (top to bottom) are:

  1. ask price
  2. bid price
  3. spread
  4. ADR for specified #days (Sunday candles - if provided by your broker - are excluded from the average)
  5. range thus far for today
  6. server time
  7. local time
  8. time to candle completion

I've posted source code so that anybody can modify it, however they require.

Though hanover has posted you one...(must be ok for you)
Else for price to be "eye catching"...you can try the below.

MetaQuotes changed the MQL4 programming language when they released build 600 back in Feb 2014. As a result, a lot of old MQ4 files don't run on the latest builds. However, the EX4s still run if you compile the MQ4 file using the old build 509 compiler (explanation and downloads here). To save you some time, I've done this for you and attached the EX4 (which runs OK on my Pepperstone MT4 -- see screenshot below).

Download the EX4 file into your ..../MQL4/Indicators folder. Then either (1) restart MT4, or (2) open MT4's Navigator (press Ctrl-N), right click anywhere in the Navigator panel, and click Refresh (see screenshot). You might also need to delete the old MQ4 file from your computer.
