Display some text on top of each bar on chart

[Jayaprakash Nachiannan]

Hi,

Can someone please tell how to put some text vertically or diagnolly starting from the High of each bar on the current chart

I tried below code but it it showing somewhere in the middel of chart.

ObjectCreate("test",OBJ_LABEL,0,Time[1],Close[1]);
ObjectSetText("test",DoubleToStr(AccountBalance(),2),10,"Times New Roman", Red);

I can use ObjectSet but how do i know the x and y coordinates of each bar's High ?

thanks

A Label uses coordinates in pixels not price and time . . . OBJ_LABEL use OBJ_TEXT instead

And the labels don't move as new bars are created. The Text is fixed to the bar by time.

Hi,

I found it. Works well. thanks for all your reply

   double Vertical_Offset= Point*15;
   string Horizontal_Offset = "      ";
   ObjectCreate("data", OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[1], High[1]+ Vertical_Offset);
   ObjectSetText("data",Horizontal_Offset+DoubleToStr(AccountBalance(),2),10,"Times New Roman", Red);
   ObjectSet("data",OBJPROP_ANGLE,50);

If your text varies in size there are differences in the placement. I think because of the alignment that cannot be changed. So you have to fill it up with spaces. I have been trying to get it EXACTLY above the bar in question but it does not seem to be possible. The below is the best I could do.

void alert(string message, color kleur)
  {


   double Vertical_Offset= Point*80;
   int TextLen=StringLen(message);
   for(int i=1; i<TextLen; i++)
      message = message+" ";

   if(!kleur)
     {
      kleur = Black;
     }
   string Horizontal_Offset = "";
   string objectname = "textabove" + TimeCurrent();
   ObjectCreate(objectname, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[0], High[0]+ Vertical_Offset);
   ObjectSetText(objectname,Horizontal_Offset+message,7,"Arial Bold", kleur);
   ObjectSet(objectname,OBJPROP_ANGLE,90);
   ObjectSetInteger(0,objectname,OBJPROP_ANCHOR,ANCHOR_LEFT_UPPER);

  }

Hi everyone,

I am trying to display pattern name on candlestick once found. I have tried hard but as I am not familiar with Objects/buffers I end up with nothing working out for me. I would be very grateful if someone help me to implement either a arrow or text on candlestick pattern preferably through buffers.

       double H1 = iHigh(Symbol(), TimeFrame(i),1);

         double L1 = iLow(Symbol(),  TimeFrame(i),1);

         double O1 = iOpen(Symbol(), TimeFrame(i),1);

         double C1 = iClose(Symbol(),TimeFrame(i),1);

if(Doji_Alert)

              {

               if(MathAbs(C1-O1)/(H1-L1)<0.1 && (H1-MathMax(C1,O1))>(3*MathAbs(C1-O1)) && (MathMin(C1,O1)-L1)>(3*MathAbs(C1-O1)))

                 {

                 

// DRAW ARROW OR TEXT ON CANDLESTICK

                                                              

                    Alert(EnumToString(TimeFrame(i))," ",Symbol()," DOJI ",TimeToString(tim));

                 }

               break;

              }

Thank you.
