How do I add text into the subwindow? I want to put a text character at the end of the line that indicates the particular time period, say M5. As this is a bit more involved, I guess what I am looking for is an example in another indicator that I can work through to figure out the general method. I have added this indicator at the bottom.

set the indicatorshortname to "" must be done in the indicator code itself.

Inserted Code
ObjectCreate("TSR", OBJ_LABEL, WindowFind("TSR"), 0, 0);
        ObjectSetText("TSR",StringSubstr(Symbol(),0),12, "Arial Bold", Blue);
        ObjectSet("TSR", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
        ObjectSet("TSR", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 25);
        ObjectSet("TSR", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 2);


This will create and object and place it in the window, you just need to edit the xdistance and ydistance to place it wherever you need.

thanks for the replies, magnum. I have tried that, and it works, but does not remove the digits. Although I haven't tried it yet, I think it may also cause problems with the WindowFind function. I can also alter the number of places after the decimal point, but cannot get rid of the digits themselves. I have seen charts without those numbers on them, so it must be possible somehow

try putting these inside the init() function

Inserted Code
SetIndexLabel(0,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(1,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(2,NULL);
IndicatorShortName("");
