DayOfWeek-Names vertically at the top

[BurkhardWille]

Hi,

is there maybe a finished indicator, which show me the DayOfWeek-Names vertically at the top (or bottom), like in my picture (text created manually to show my request).

Regards

sure, but the nearest code of vertical text is from "News event indicator" (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/10459), but the code dont work with the new MT4 > build 600, so my question is still on top.

Then look to the part of the code where the line is created with the text

      if(!skip)
        {
         if(ImpactToNumber(news[i][COLUMN_IMPORTANCE])>impact)impact=ImpactToNumber(news[i][COLUMN_IMPORTANCE]);
         if(StrToTime(news[i][COLUMN_DATE]+" "+news[i][COLUMN_TIME])== current) continue;
         current=(broker-local)+StrToTime(news[i][COLUMN_DATE]+" "+news[i][COLUMN_TIME]);
         color clr = low_color;
         if(impact == 2) clr = medium_color;  else
         if(impact == 3)clr = high_color;
 
         string text="";
         if(news[i][COLUMN_PREVIOUS]!="" || news[i][COLUMN_FORECAST]!="") text="["+news[i][COLUMN_PREVIOUS]+", "+news[i][COLUMN_FORECAST]+"]";
         if(news[i][COLUMN_IMPORTANCE]!="") text=text+" "+news[i][COLUMN_IMPORTANCE];
 
         ObjectCreate("NewsLine"+i,OBJ_VLINE,0,current,0);
         ObjectSet("NewsLine"+i,OBJPROP_COLOR,clr);
         ObjectSet("NewsLine"+i,OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_DASHDOTDOT);
         ObjectSet("NewsLine"+i,OBJPROP_BACK,true);
         ObjectSetText("NewsLine"+i,news[i][COLUMN_DATE]+" "+news[i][COLUMN_DESCRIPTION]+" "+text,8);
 
         if(showLineText)
           {
            if(Period()<PERIOD_H4)
              {
               ObjectCreate("NewsText"+i,OBJ_TEXT,0,current,WindowPriceMin()+(WindowPriceMax()-WindowPriceMin())*0.8);
               ObjectSet("NewsText"+i,OBJPROP_COLOR,clr);
               ObjectSet("NewsText"+i,OBJPROP_ANGLE,90);
               ObjectSetText("NewsText"+i,news[i][COLUMN_DATE]+" "+news[i][COLUMN_DESCRIPTION]+" "+text,8);
              }
           }
        }

How you can see, the position of the text is not correctly:

WindowPriceMin()+(WindowPriceMax()-WindowPriceMin())*0.8

The images of the indicator dont match with the code.

I guess, WindowPrice is not a good solution, because only at a new tick, the position of the text-object is calculation correctly.

[qjol]

you can try tou use XY position ChartTimePriceToXY or calculate it using CHART_WIDTH_IN_PIXELS and CHART_HEIGHT_IN_PIXELS

[Tjipke de Vries]

input double textplace = 25;


//calculation height
   int heightinpixels = ChartHeightInPixelsGet(0,0);
   double textprice = WindowPriceMax()-((WindowPriceMax()-WindowPriceMin())*(textplace/heightinpixels));

sorry, but it don't work if I zoom in/out, the text is not on the top.

Have you tried to re-attach?
