DislikedHi all,
I too have problems with Candletime (and have since the beginning) getting it to display where I can see it. It tends to draw way too far to the right, so far that it cannot be seen at all! Even if I click on the MT4 Offset button for the chart, which shifts the bars left and displays a little more blank space to the right, the Candletime is still even farther to the right. I'm lucky if I see just a tip of the Candletime arrow. The only way I can see it fully is to click "-" to zoom out and then briefly I will see it, until the next tick which then auto-adjusts the window and bars again.
Any ideas? The problem, for me at least, is not the color but where it displays.
I'm new to MT4, and I'd also like to change some of the default colors for ALL my charts rather than one at a time. For example, I prefer green for rising bars rather than black, and red for falling bars rather than white. Maybe the answer is obvious in the documentation when I get around to it, but I haven't searched for it yet.
Thanks,

DislikedIf I make my chart big enough, like 3/4 of the screen, then yes I can see the Candletime just fine. However, I have double monitors and I set up 2 rows by 8 columns of charts and monitor all major H4 charts at once (until I get a better feel for this indicator). Therefore each chart size is about 1/4 width of one monitor screen, and I can only see the "<--" of Candletime. The rest of the text (e.g. '89:14') is off-screen to the right.
Uh, I'm a Newbie (but I learn fast), so what's the best way to screen capture and crop a picture and add to it some descriptive info (text and arrows) ?
(By the way, when I started MT4 this morning, it placed a few extra TSS Arrows on some charts, on some older bars compared to Bar(0). A simple change of the timeframe and back clears them, e.g. H4 -> H1 -> H4. When I learn how to screen capture I will post a picture).

DislikedThanks WHTenn for the SnagIt suggestion. I'll try the free trial for now. (Is there some free sreen capture program with similar features? SnagIt is apparently $40... no big deal. Earlier, I tried Function+Prt_Screen key which copied my screen to the clipboard, and then I used the free program Irfanview (an image viewer), but it doesn't seem to draw the circles and text as easily as SnagIt).
I'm posting a screen shot. Each chart size is about 1/4 width of one monitor screen, and I can only see the "<--" of Candletime. The rest of the text (e.g. '89:14') is off-screen to the right. If I make the chart 3/4 size, I can see all of Candletime.
To repeat what I said before, I started MT4 this morning, and it placed a few extra TSS Arrows on some charts, on some older bars compared to Bar(0). A simple change of the timeframe and back clears them, e.g. H4 -> H1 -> H4. I did another restart just now and the extra arrows do NOT occur, so I don't know how to reproduce this, only that it happened earlier today.

DislikedI have had the same problem. I do not normally have chart shift enabled. However by doing so, I am now able to see the candletime display. Maybe someone who is more familiar with code can tell us if there is a way to shift the display farther to the left. For now we can just enable chart shift to view the display time. Thank you for sharing your observations.

DislikedChartShift and 15 spaces in the indicator seem to work for most zoom factors. Thanks for everyones help.

DislikedHi George,
Thanks for the suggestion to change Candletime spacing. I already use ChartShift, and I decided on 20 spaces in combination with 9-point font. The line in my code is now:
ObjectSetText("time", " <--"+m+":"+s, 9, "Verdana", Yellow);
It works great for all but the most narrow of Chart windows.
And to Snobol1,
Thanks for the tips on Irfan, but I guess you missed that I did already try that (a.k.a. "IrfanView"). I downloaded the latest today, and yes, it captures images, but am I missing something about drawing arrows, lines, circles, etc. with IrfanView? It doesn't seem to include any such capability, so I can't as easily add notations to the picture. The $40 SnagIt program does have this capability.
Is there another "free" Drawing/Art/Image-editing software someone can recommend? (Otherwise I'll probably spend the $40 for the added capabilities of SnagIt).

DislikedI read this Thread several times today and am looking at the charts with the indicators on it. There has been some talk of the arrow appearing and disappearing during the candle being open.
I thought on this as I biked home and wondered about a MTF version.
eg. On the 4Hr you could paint an arrow of different colours from the 4 individual 1 Hr candles making up that bar. (The daily candle would need 6)
Red - 1st hour has a signal
Orange - 2nd hour has a signal
Yellow - 3rd hour has a signal
White - current hourly and 4 hour bar are getting a signal.
Does this make sense or am I mistaken? Would it work? Or even make it a Histogram in a separate window.
Tossing out an Idea,
