SpreadSync Entry Timer is a compact and practical cTrader indicator designed to keep two important trading details visible at all times: the live spread and the time remaining before the current candle closes.

Many traders focus heavily on setup direction, but entry quality also depends on execution conditions. A good trade idea can still become a poor trade if the spread is too wide or if the entry is poorly timed within a still-forming candle. This indicator helps solve that by keeping both pieces of information visible in a clean, lightweight on-chart display.

The live spread readout helps traders quickly judge current trading cost before entering a position. This is especially useful during volatile periods, session opens, low-liquidity conditions, and fast market moves where spreads can expand unexpectedly.

The candle countdown helps traders who prefer better timing around candle close. Instead of entering too early, traders can monitor exactly how much time is left before the active bar finishes, which can be useful for confirmation-based entries, breakout timing, or structured intraday execution.

Unlike bulky chart tools, SpreadSync Entry Timer is designed to stay out of the way. Its compact layout makes it suitable for traders who want useful information on screen without blocking price action.
