Amount of Pips Till Next Range Bar Open - RangeBar Pip Timer

[mennzz]

Hi Apprentice,

Is it possible to create an indicator similar to the "ShowTimeToEnd" indicator, but instead of counting down the time left till the next candle opens, it calculates and displays the amount of pips that has already passed, according to the amount of pips preset for the Range Bar indicator.

So basically, price would be going up and down etc, and this indicator would be displaying the pip-count till the set pip range is complete -- giving a sense of how soon and of when the next range bar would most likely be opened.

A second optional feature to include, would be the ability to see the time elapsed since the opening of the current range bar. That would be cool.

(P.S. The Range Bar indicator I'm using is the one that opens up in the 'Create View' format. I'm not sure which one of the few that might be.)

Thank you!

Your request is added to the development list.

Can you direct me to this version.
Looks like i can not find it anywhere.

This implementation do not have the same number of ticks and bar.
The bar is determined by High-Low Range
So this makes no sense.

If we create a version that will always have the same number of Ticks in one bar.
This would be meaningful.

Oh, I see. I thought this Range Bar indicator only let a set amount of pips (or ticks) into each candle bar subsequently creating a new one when it reached the certain limit.

If it is possible to create such an indicator (or view chart) which did do the above mentioned (and included the pip countdown timer feature), that would indeed be very helpful.
