RaptorUK:
Why aren't you checking if the object already exists,  you do in your WriteText() function ?

? ? ?

[noorad sharafi]

Because you've already written, I just use it to change its value.

Like the time showing on the chart 

 

 

 writeText("time"," TIME : "+TimeToString(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES),clrWhite,20,90);

Thanks for sharing. As a remark, be cautious using such function as DivZero(), you don't get a runtime error causing an interruption of your program, BUT that can mask a logical error, much more difficult to find.

I suggest you to add errors processing and to initialize your structure MqlTradeRequest.
