Disappearing Text Labels?

Hi,

I place text labels on my charts. When I close MT4, and then reopen it the next day, 90% of the labels are still there, but a few always go missing.

There is no difference between the properties of those that remain and those that disappear, so I don't think it's due to a setting somewhere. The templates of those that disappear and those that remain are usually very similar so I don't understand why a few text labels are disappearing. The indicators are always still there, it's just my text labels that are gone...

Since I've saved most of my charts as templates, I just reapply the template and the label reappears. Then the next time I close and later reopen, they're gone again.

Anybody else experience this? Any way to stop the text labels from disappearing?

Thanks,
Jin

There is "Text Label" marked "T" and there is "Text" marked "A", two different things.
Text is anchored to the time on chart and will move back as time goes by. Text Label is anchored to the screen coordinates and will stays in particular place in the window.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your message. I just double-checked, and the disappearing texts are definitely Text Labels that should stay in the same location. I have plenty of these Text Labels that are correctly staying in position, but just a few that continually disappear when the program is restarted... Any more tips?

Thanks,

Funny, try experiment with that. Put dissapearing label on screen then close the program, if it dissapears right away on rerstart, direct this problem to metaquotes site or mql4.com site. Let the authors figure it out.

Thanks for the idea, which prompted me to do a lot more testing of the problem. I eventually figured out the problem is only happening with charts that have either the Digistoch indicator or the GMACD2 indicator. They both have the same author, probably not coincidentally, so I'm guessing his indicators are doing something to delete text labels every time the program loads. I've attached the indicators, if any smart programmer can see the problem please let me know.

Thanks,
Jin

i just looked at digistoch and here is yuor problem:

ObjectsDeleteAll(0,OBJ_LABEL);

He is deleting all labels on exit.

Thanks SO much. I deleted that line from both the indicators, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I will wait until Monday and see if this change causes any unforeseen problems with those indicators...

Thanks again,
Jin.
