Display text on terminal MQL5.

[Jaco Moolman]

I use to be able to do this in MQL4, but now I can not do this in MQL5.

I found many 1/2 answers or how to's, but none works.

If anybody would be so kind as to perhaps so me the full code.

Just place text on x,y with color, nothing complicated...

Thank you kindly for any assistance.

I will make sample code.

wait for some time.

ObjectCreate(0,"Test",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
   
ObjectSetString(0,"Test",OBJPROP_TEXT,"Say Hello");
   
ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,50);
ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,50);
ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_CORNER,CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER);
   
ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_COLOR,clrAliceBlue);

Change "Test", "Say Hello", 50, CORNER, color to your code.

I checked this code working in mql5.

its 100% the same code as in MT4

Use chartredraw() after create objects

Change "Test", "Say Hello", 50, CORNER, color to your code.

I checked this code working in mql5.

I know someone whom I will be calling "THE MAN" from now on! Thank you so much, you rock!

Hello,

I wonder if somebody could perhaps help me out.

Trying to display text in MQL5 on my charts, but to no avail.

Found this snippet:

   ObjectCreate(0,"Test",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
   ObjectSetString(0,"Test",OBJPROP_TEXT,"Say Hello");
   ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,50);
   ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,50);
   ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_CORNER,CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER);
   ObjectSetInteger(0,"Test",OBJPROP_COLOR,clrAliceBlue);

But it displays nothing at all.

Is there a way to output simple text with a label in front?

What I am trying to achieve is for example,

to show the spread value somewhere on my chart like:

   Spread: <value>

I checked this code working in mql5.

What is this supposed to do?

It displays nothing whatsoever.

Is there something missing?
