Greetings experts,
I'm a noob on MQL. So far, had created more than 3 dozen EAs (very simple ones mind you). My problem is I need to uniformly display information on each chart/each EA goes on like the one below. Every time I need to add more info to be displayed I need to go to each EA and change it.
Is there a way that I can put CreateInfo into a file somewhere and just reference it from each of my EA?
Thank you in advance and apologies for the noob question.
void CreateInfo()
{
int Y=30;
int YSpace=12;
int fontsize=8;
ObjectCreate("EA",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0);
ObjectSetText("EA","Forex Gump USDJPY H15 v1.50",fontsize,"Verdana",Yellow);
ObjectSet("EA",OBJPROP_CORNER,0);
ObjectSet("EA",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);
ObjectSet("EA",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,Y);
Y=Y+YSpace;
ObjectCreate("Leverage",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0);
ObjectSetText("Leverage","Leverage : "+IntegerToString(ActLev),fontsize,"Verdana",Lime);
ObjectSet("Leverage",OBJPROP_CORNER,0);
ObjectSet("Leverage",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);
ObjectSet("Leverage",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,Y);
Y=Y+YSpace;
ObjectCreate("ATR",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0);
ObjectSetText("ATR","ATR : "+ DoubleToString(ATR) ,fontsize,"Verdana",Lime);
ObjectSet("ATR",OBJPROP_CORNER,0);
ObjectSet("ATR",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);
ObjectSet("ATR",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,Y);

void OnTick()

CreateInfo();
