Chart Trader from $499Frequently Asked Questions
What does Nexus Bar Timer do?
It shows a live countdown to the close of the current bar with color-coded warnings as the close approaches, so you can time entries and exits precisely. The Pro version adds higher-timeframe and session timers with alerts.
What is the difference between Standard and Pro?
Standard includes the live candle countdown and color-coded close warnings for a one-time $20 license. Bar Timer Pro is $99 with lifetime updates and adds higher-timeframe bar timers, session timers, and alert options.
Why do I need a bar timer?
Entering a position seconds before a bar closes against you is a common and avoidable mistake. A countdown timer lets you wait for confirmed closes - especially useful for bar-close entry strategies and higher-timeframe confirmation.
Does Nexus Bar Timer work on prop firm accounts?
Yes. It is a chart indicator and runs on any NinjaTrader 8 chart regardless of account type. It works with any connection NinjaTrader 8 supports - Rithmic, Tradovate, and CQG - so you can use it on prop firm accounts from Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, and others.
