Any questions from newcomers on MQL4 and MQL5, help and discussion on algorithms and codes - page 1958

It depends. If you want it on the Left hand side, then simply give the horizontal line a description and it will apear there.

On the right hand side however, it is not that easy. You have to place either a text object or a object label object depending on what you want to achieve.

If you want it always visible as you scroll the chart then a Label object will be best, but you will have to compensate for vertical shift of the chart.

If you only want it visible on the current most recent bar, then you can use a Text object, but you will have to update its position on every new bar.

I requested that you post your code, I didn't ask for you to post code that will not compile. You had not mentioned anything about getting compilation errors.

Is there a step by step guide for setting up a Signal Follow purchase?  I've got to say there is very little current info or videos that is readily available to guide that journey.  The one "detailed" video for starting the subscription is a link to a 6-yr old Youtube video.  Very disappointing.

All sorted thanks to the references.  Used text not label.

OK, my misunderstanding.  Apologies!!

Can someone help me please. I opened a Meta Trader 4 account with some bloke from overseas. I was very green with this type of trading but wanted to learn.  When I wasn't willing to dump half my savings into this account and trust him with it, he left me high and dry. I've been tyring to contact him for over 12 months but no reply or help. I was trading on my own for a while and made a profit. I want to transfer the funds into my new MQL5 account but there's nowhere on the MQL4 page that will allow me to withdraw funds. I've tried the chat thing on this site, but the robot doesn't understand. Who can I call about this issue?

Thanks, Warren 

You fell for a scam! That was a fake broker. MetaQuotes is software company, not a broker.

No one here is going to be able to help you. You should address the issue with the authorities or a lawyer.
