🕐 Clock Sync

A lightweight utility indicator that detects time synchronization issues between your local PC clock and the exchange server.

How it works:
On a 1-minute chart, the indicator compares the timestamp of the latest candle against your local system time. If the two don't match, a red clock emoji appears above the bar, alerting you to a potential desync. If your clock is in sync, nothing is displayed.

Why it matters:
Time mismatches can cause problems for traders who rely on precise execution timing, scheduled entries, or automation scripts. Even a one-minute drift can lead to unexpected behavior in time-sensitive strategies. This indicator gives you a quick visual confirmation that your clock is in sync with the exchange.

Settings:
- 24/7 Mode: Check this box to run the sync check continuously, ignoring the time window.
- Timezone: Select your local timezone from a list of major zones worldwide. Defaults to America/Los_Angeles.
- Start Hour / Start Minute: The time the sync check becomes active. Defaults to 00:00 (midnight).
- End Hour / End Minute: The time the sync check stops. Defaults to 06:28 AM.
- The time window supports overnight ranges (e.g., start at 22:00, end at 06:00).

Usage:
- Apply to any 1-minute chart.
- Configure your timezone and the hours you want monitoring active.
- If no emoji appears, your clock is synced or you are outside the active window.
- If a red clock label appears on the latest bar, your local time is out of sync with the exchange.
- Enable 24/7 Mode if you want continuous monitoring regardless of time of day.

Notes:
- Only active on 1-minute timeframes.
- Only evaluates the most recent (last) bar.
- Outside the configured time window, the indicator does nothing.
- Useful as a diagnostic tool alongside automated or time-based trading systems.
