Some qimple questions

[Pablo Estonia]

Hello everyone,

I just started coding MQL some weeks ago and there's a lot of work to be done to get an fine EA.

Until now, there're a lot of questions I need some help on. Perhaps I can get some skill of yours ;-)

1. I'm trying to create a simple label, displayed in the chart window. I tried to use some code fragments from the board and the reference, but it doesn't work. 

ObjectCreate("ObjName", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
   ObjectSetText("ObjName","your Text",7, "Verdana", Red);
   ObjectSet("ObjName", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
   ObjectSet("ObjName", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 20);
   ObjectSet("ObjName", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 20);

 The string "ObjectSet" is not accepted/ known by the MT Editor? It's just displayed as simple code in black.

 2. I want to create a simple order to get first knowledge for this. How can I create a simple order without any special functions? Perhaps like: Order one new position at new tick, value 2.3456, used volume= 1000 EUR. 

 I hope I can look forward to your greatful help ;-) Thanks!
