I'd like to use a count down timer in a M1 Chart but I'd like to see the remaining time of a higher timeframe like M5 or M15 or... Is that possible? |

Yes should be possible by referencing the Countdown Timer Subgraph on the other chart using the Text Display for Study from Chart study.

I am interested in this topic as well. If I try to copy the countdown timer from chart "A" over to chart "B" via Text Display for Study from Chart it only shows me "0.00" on chart B. Any suggestions?

The Countdown Timer data is not available in the Subgraph, so you can not use it in another study/chart. There is not a great way to do this without creating your own study, but if you want to see the amount of time remaining for a specific time period, then you would need to test the current time against the time you of when the new bar would start. You can do this using the Spreadsheet Formula. The formula for a 5 minute bar period would be the following: =((BARDATETIME + 5/60/24) - NOW()) * 24 * 60 * 60 Note that this is going to give you the remaining time in Seconds. If you want it in Minutes and Seconds, you would have to use multiple Spreadsheet Formulas with multiple Text Displays to have one displaying the minutes and another one the remaining seconds. The '5' in the section with 5/60/24 is the item that you would need to change for different timeframes. Note that the division by 60 and 24 is for minutes. If you are using seconds then you would need to divide by a further 60.
