A buffer for what ?  the spread ?

A buffer for what ?  the spread ?

is it possible to set buffer for ObjectSetText , because i want to use this buffer for alert , when candle crosses above or below (---------------------------------) this text area . 


or can you share fixed horizontal level at virtually midpoint chart, same as subwindow 50 level

Ow so you want the alert, not to display the history , you want one price .

Which price though ? the user adds it ?

actually i want this type fixed level indicator,  see screenshot , this level same as subwindow 20, 50, 80 level, this levels doesn't  move by chart shift, i added this by stochastic indicator modified by seperate window to chart window, but i want to add arrow or alert when candle cross this level, do you have this type idea indicator?

or i have also a indicator , is it possible fixed level at vertically midpoint on chart

Ow so you want 3 % (levels) of the active viewport visible as the viewport changes ? 

Or based on the previous "OtherTimeframe" close (or OHLC)?

yes,  is it possible to fixed the levelprice auto adjust vertically middle point on the chart

i see , try this 

it works fine, but if possible to add buffer for each level,

You don't need a buffer for that , if you want to use them in an EA -not recommended- just port the mechanism in the EA and store the prices .
