Why This Indicator Matters
In prop firm trading, it is not always enough to track only entries, exits, targets, and drawdown. Some firms also monitor how trades are executed, how long they are held, and whether too much activity comes from very short-duration trades.
PTZ Trade Timer Box V4 gives traders a simple visual way to monitor trade duration, over-scalping behavior, and account-specific timing without opening extra windows.
What’s New in
Version 4 expands the indicator from a simple trade timer into a more complete trade duration and account monitoring dashboard.
Account Selector
Switch accounts directly from the on-chart dashboard without needing to open another window.
Chart Trader Sync
The indicator can sync with the account selected in NinjaTrader Chart Trader.
Multiple Account Tracking
Tracks multiple connected accounts and keeps each account’s timer separate.
Drag-and-Drop Positioning
Move the dashboard directly on the chart and place it where it fits your layout best.
Built for Prop Firm Rule Awareness
PTZ Trade Timer Box V4 is especially useful for prop firm traders who want to stay aware of potential micro-scalping or short-duration trade behavior.
Some futures prop firms monitor whether too many trades are held for only a few seconds, or whether too much gross winning profit comes from very short-duration trades. This dashboard helps traders see those numbers clearly from the chart.
Main Dashboard Features
⏱ Active Trade Timer
Tracks the active trade timer for the selected account and chart instrument.
📊 LONG / SHORT / FLAT State
Shows whether the selected account is currently long, short, or flat.
📈 Trade Statistics
Displays total trades, average trade time, winning average, and losing average.
🔄 Open Trade Detection
Detects already-open trades and continues tracking them from the chart.
Micro-Scalping Monitor
The indicator tracks micro-scalping trades based on your own custom seconds threshold. For example, you can set a threshold such as 20 seconds, and the dashboard will monitor how many completed trades closed at or below that duration.
Micro Trade Percentage
Shows what percentage of total trades were classified as micro trades based on your custom seconds setting.
Micro Profit Percentage
Shows what percentage of gross winning profit came from micro trades.
Potential Rule Issue Warning
Highlights potential prop firm rule issues when micro trades or micro profit exceed the monitored limit.
Custom Warning Thresholds
PTZ Trade Timer Box V4 supports custom warning thresholds for trades that are too short or too long. This gives traders more flexibility depending on their personal trading style or the rules of the prop firm they are using.
Instead of manually calculating trade timing after the session, traders can keep the information visible directly on the chart while trading.
Account-Specific Tracking
V4 was designed for traders who use more than one account, including traders copying between multiple prop firm accounts or switching accounts inside NinjaTrader.
Clean Transparent Dashboard Style
The dashboard uses a clean transparent on-chart style, so traders can monitor timing and account activity without covering too much of the chart.
The box also supports customizable colors, text, opacity, and drag-and-drop positioning directly on the chart.
