Up to 20 Chars of Text to be placed on Chart Window

Hi. I'm looking for a "simple" indicator (may not be simple to progam!) - or other means, if there's an alternative simpler way of doing it - that will allow up to 20 characters of text (user input) to be displayed anywhere on the Chart Window ... so it will require X and Y offset parameters to locate the start position of the text within the Window.

Also, to allow its use in Chart Windows with different background colours, the colour of the text should be changeable by the user; and (ideally) the font size should be adjustable via user input.

Can anyone point me to an indicator that enables this, please?

Thank you, in anticipation. Richard.

You haven't said what software you are referring to.

If its MT just use the text button if you want it to move with the chart, or a text label if you want it fixed.

Thanks, scorpion. It's MT4, I want it in a fixed position on the chart window, and I'm a complete novice with MT4.

How do I input the text to be displayed, how do I indicate the location (x/y co-ordinates on the window) from which the text is to be displayed, and how do I set the text's font size and colour?

Sorry that it's such a newbie question. Thanks for your help. Richard.

I agree with scorpion. Since I just made a post with examples of some simple things you can put on your chart using MT4, See post.

Thank you very much, guys. That's very helpful. Richard.

To put a fixed text on the chart go to the top and click on the toolbar that shows as a "T", text box.

Once you have it click on the chart roughly where you want it to appear.

Enter the text yowu want in the text box, set the font and the size then click OK.

If you want to move it you can double click on it and move it to where you want, or you can highlight it and choose properties and set where it is to appear.

The text will stay in the same place on the screen regardless of the chart being moved.

If however you want text to be in a fixed position on the chart, say above a certain candle do as above but instead of choosing the "T" text box, choose the "A" text toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again, scorpion, for the help and details of how to do it. Regards, Richard.
