Hi,

I have seen peoples charts with the description of the trend lines eg.daily, weekly showing on the chart just above the lines. How do you do this?

Thanks

Are you asking about how to write the code for an indicator or expert? If not you could always use a simple text box. Text is under the A button or the insert menu at the top of MT4.

First add a description to an object:

draw the object => the object menu pops up => click the Common tab => enter the description

then go to:

Charts menu => Properties (or hit F8 from the chart view) => Common tab => put a tick next to Show objects descriptions in the bottom right corner => OK

That's it.

Good information, well done. My mind must have gone on vacation. I completely forgot about this method.
