Hello,

I am trying to add a label below a certain candle, but it appears at x-distance 200, y-distance 50. I want it to be on the time and price of a candle.

PHP Code
string Obj = "label12345";
ObjectCreate(Obj, OBJ_LABEL, 0, Time[0], Low[0]);
ObjectSetText(Obj, "hello world", 10, "Times New Roman", White);
Maybe someone can just throw me an indicator that displays labels at custom locations, and I could hack the code myself.

Also, how can I change the color of a certain candle? I want to make my pinbars and dojos, etc. a different color.

PS. I am very new to trading , but have a programming background.

Common mistake. Try creating a text object (OBJ_TEXT) instead.

Text objects stay with defined price/time intersect, label objects stay at defined pixel location on screen.

Thanks, tesla! That fixed it.

Also, could you answer my question about custom-colored candles?

I have seen a screenshot of a MetaTrader chart, where a doji (or was it a pinbar) was painted black, while others were red/green as usual.

Do you know how to do this?

go to options and make your line graph a diff color than your candles. this will show all dojis as that color.
