How to add a custom image to the chart using an MT5 EA?

[Anold Stephen Minja]

I’m currently coding an MT5 EA and I’d like to add an image/logo directly onto the chart (not just text or lines). I’ve been experimenting with OBJ_BITMAP and OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL, but I’m not fully sure how to properly load and display a custom image in the EA.

Has anyone here done this before?🤷‍♂️

What’s the correct way to load an image file into the chart?

Are there specific formats/sizes that work best (BMP, PNG, etc.)?

Any sample code or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Let’s share some knowledge here.

I’m sure many developers would find this useful too.
