Is it possible to post or let me know how to construct a seconds countdown timer??
I have looked at the code of the TickCountdown timer but can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance

I can give you some ideas but you will still have to code it.
- You could write an indicator that uses the Timer Class to count down time and then plot the value via the Plot() method, like the TickCounter
- You coud measure the time stamps of bars as they come in to see how much time is left and override the Plot() method

Where do those timestamps come in? MarketData, Bars?

You would have to take the time of the bar (closing time of bar) and the current actual time and do a difference. This is not 100% reliable since if your feed is off (delayed) the bar time vs actual time will be off.
