Countdown Timer confusion

Please refer to attached printscreen. I am confused about the logic of the countdown timer. On a 1hour chart, at 08.55am, the remaining time is 12 minutes-47 seconds. I would prefer a more practical countdown towards the 09.00 am. Like 5 minutes at this point.

How to obtain this? Thank you.

Thank you. I believe the setting Display Continuous Time Based on Real-Time Clock set to YES would display the countdown time accoording to the real time. However, if set to Yes, the only difference is that the 'seconds'are not being shown, nor the letters TR (Time Remaining). Apart from that, there is no difference, the shown remaning time is still not yet according real time.

If you wish I could upload printscreen. Please inform, thank you for your support.

The problem is your computer's clock is not set accurately.

My comp clock is 11:47 something. See at chart: 11:47:55

With a M15 candle and counting down, I would expect the countdown timer show something like TR:12:05 (12 minutes 5 seconds till 12:00:00). But as you can see, remaining time is 5:12. So, a new M15 candle would start around 11:53, of which I can not see the logic.

8 o'clock. But now I see probably did wrong input: 00:08:00, which is in fact 8 minute past midnight. This should be 08:00:00.

I just corrected this, now the remaining time looks good. I'm so sorry I've been a idiot. Thanks a lot I didnt know what I did wrong.
