Time To Break Even Indicator v2
This indicator will help you time your trade's entry into the market. The plot shows you the likely number of seconds for your trade to break even. If the market is moving fast and in your direction, then the indicator will give a small number. If the market is moving against you or slowly, the number will be larger.
The indicator calculates the number of pips that your trade requires to break even. It then compares this with the current speed at which the price is moving.
N.B. This indicator should be run on the 1 Tick Time Frame.

Max Seconds
Allowing the indicator to display very large values means that the scale of the indicator will prevent you from seeing the detail when the time to break even is small. Setting this parameter enables you to set the maximum scale of the indicator. By default it is set to 120 (2 minutes). So any output of 2 minutes or more will be plot as 120 seconds.
