If you want to write your own scripts then you can start here.
If you want someone to make it for you then you can start here.
- You put the Codes within the start().
- Remember to ObjectDelete before ObjectCreate.

 

Google Translate (translate.google.com), Microsoft Translate (www.bing.com/translator/) 

Open MetaEditor (Press F4 from MetaTrader 4) > create new mql4 program press Ctrl + N > select script > click next > name your Script > click finish > copy paste the code after start (see below) > Press F5 or F7 to compile it > press Ctrl + T to see if you have an error > if you have no error, the script is ready.

int start()
  {
  //---
      ObjectCreate("Priceinfo", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 100, 100);
      ObjectSetText("Priceinfo", "Price: "+Bid);
      ObjectSet("Priceinfo",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 100);
      ObjectSet("Priceinfo",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 50);
      ObjectSet("Priceinfo",OBJPROP_FONTSIZE, 20);
      ObjectSet("Priceinfo",OBJPROP_COLOR, White);
  //---
  return (0);
  }

Thanks Phi.Nuts,


I did what you said, but the font is still the same size. 

So after UI copy and paste do I just hit the  "X" button?

How do I get back to that script to modify it, I went to the scripts in the Navigator section and I don't see the script I just created.

This is really new to me, thanks for the help

What 'X' button ?, I did not mention anything about "X" button ?

That script will not change the font size of your MetaTrader. It will only create the text on chart (see "Price: 1.31654000" on picture below :). If you want to change the font size, you may want to go to Control Panel and change the size of your font size. What your operating system ?.

 

 
windows 8

Sorry I don't have 8, so I can not guide you through.

Then change the font size in your Windows 8.

Which Font ?  can you take a screen/chart grab and mark it to show which font is too small and then post the picture here.
 

Chart



The numbers on the side and dates on the bottom

As far as I am aware you can't changes that Font,  the question has been asked before.
 

Thank you so much


I see what I did wrong and now the price is on my charts.


Is there a way to have it where it will show just 1.3130 and not 1.3180800

Hopefully I can get rid of the last 3 numbers


Thanks again
