You created it - at a wrong place

Rectangle is time and price bound. What are "0,0,1500,1500" supposed to be when it comes to "time1, price1, time2,  price2" part of parameters for ObjectCreate()?

Check the documentation prior to using a function and then provide correct parameters

Thanks a lot. What kind of object should I use for above panel?

If you are still struggling with rectangle, use rectangle for base (since it is much simpler to use than to use canvas or similar stuff that would require much more learning than to use rectangle)

That's not the right way to create panels in MQL5.

Use the Systemlibrary!

There are many samples in Codebase and Articles, like this one https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/2281
