hello,
by second(now()) i can make triger between 0-60 sec (every 1 min the counter become to 0)
( for exa:, if i want to get triger at every 23 sec in each min so: =if(second(now())=23,1,0) )...

I'm trying to figure how can i triger, every 4 min and 23 sec.
(i want to get triger at 9:34:23,after that the next triger is at 9:39:23
(every 5 min the counter become to 0) )

1. how can i triger by a similar way (by counting over time) ?
2. other way?

thank you?

Try this:

- Add a time-based chart with this Bar Period: 0-4-23
If you want the seconds count to start at 09:30:00 :
- 'New Bar At Session Start' needs to be Yes
- Session Start Time needs to be 09:30:00

- Add the CountDown Timer study, and set 'Alert on New Bar' to Yes.

Add CountDown Timer to a 5 min chart.
Add Color Bar Based On Alert Condition to generate your trigger.
Set the Alert for when there are 37 seconds left on the timer.
See attached for how this looks.
