CDT Clock + Trade Timer
To keep it organized in your TradingView library, you’ll want a description that reminds you exactly how the logic works (especially the CDT offset and the manual timer).
Here is a concise description you can paste into the "Description" field when you save the script:
NQ Execution Clock & Patience Timer (CDT)
Overview:
A specialized execution tool designed for NQ/ES futures trading. This indicator provides a high-visibility digital clock synced to Central Daylight Time (CDT) and a manual "Trade Timer" to help manage trade duration and psychology during liquidity sweeps.
Key Features:
Live CDT Clock: Hardcoded to UTC-5 to stay synced with Chicago/San Antonio market hours.
Manual Trade Stopwatch: A "Start Trade Timer" toggle in the settings allows you to track exactly how many minutes/seconds you have been in a position.
Psychology Support: Specifically built to prevent early exits by providing a visual counter for the "10-minute rule" during NQ runs.
Customizable UI: Options to reposition the clock (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.) and adjust font size/color to fit any chart layout.
Instructions:
Check "START TRADE TIMER" in the inputs as soon as your limit order is filled.
Uncheck to reset once the trade is closed.
