ObjectCreate() not placing objects like it should

[Stephen Reynolds]

Hi, when used as mql5 in the following code why does Example 2 display objects on chart okay but, in Example 1 it does not?

int start()
{   
   datetime TIME = iTime(NULL,0,1);
   double PRICE = iOpen(_Symbol,_Period,1);
   string ART = "art "+TimeToString(TIME);
   string ART2 = "art2 "+TimeToString(TIME);

   if(PRICE>0.0)
   {
      // Example 1     
      ObjectCreate(0,ART,OBJ_ARROW,0,0,0); // ,TIME,PRICE
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART,OBJPROP_ARROWCODE,233); 
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,355); 
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,247);
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrRed);
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART,OBJPROP_WIDTH,3); 
   }
     
   if(PRICE>0.0)
   {
      // Example 2    
      ObjectCreate(0,ART2,OBJ_ARROW,0,TIME,PRICE);
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART2,OBJPROP_ARROWCODE,233);
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART2,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrRed);      
      ObjectSetInteger(0,ART2,OBJPROP_WIDTH,3);
   }

   return(0); 
}

Well... Think again.

Your first example Sets coordinates to what exactly?

You set them to zero.

Where on the chart is that?

An arrow is not a label. Your X/Y calls are meaningless/ignored.

In the mql4 version i wrote the following and it worked okay 

if(PRICE>0.0)
{
  // TP1 Arrow Colour Change & Tick      
   ObjectSetInteger(0,"tp1",OBJPROP_COLOR,TakeProfitColor);
   ObjectCreate("artp1",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0,0,0);
   ObjectSet("artp1",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,xdist);
   ObjectSet("artp1",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,47);
   ObjectSetText("artp1",CharToStr(252),16,"Wingdings",TakeProfitColor);
}

Using OBJ_LABEL worked with OBJPROP_XDISTANCE okay and using ObjectSetText() i was able to make the winding 252 appear

But ObjectSetText() i cant find in mql5? Thats the problem? When i use OBJ_LABEL I cant find a way to use the windings?   

On viewing https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/81 i can see ObjectSetText() but it looks like i use ObjectSetInteger but i cant see how to get the windings using ObjectSetInteger()?
