Any example would be great

Thanks for your time.

P.S: It's Chart window in the title
If it floats, flies, or f%^ks, rent it, it's cheaper.

hey 000.... there are several methods of displaying text.... some use Comment(), some use Objects() and such......

it's even rumored that text can be scrolled across the chart in a marquee fashion.... displaying just about anything imaginable.... the marquee can be an ever changing supply of information......

The time warp ea uses that scrolling text marquee technique.... red and blue trains leave their stations and plow head long into explosives... ok, , your right, thats uncalled for..... but it is fun to watch....... kaboom......h

hey xtraction.... got the pm, here ya go......

to move objects or text we must vary the x/y cordinates.... doing so would allow gartley butterfly pattern to actually fly off the chart.... or text to cross the screen....

several methods exist, one such would use volume in the following manner.....

   ObjectSetText("one", "I Remember", 14, "Veranda", Blue);
   ObjectSetText("two", "Doing the Time Warp", 14, "Veranda", Blue);
 
 
   Comment("just a jump to the left");
 int i;
  int priorvolume;
 
  volume = Volume[0];   
  if(volume != priorvolume)
  {
  WindowRedraw();
 
//--- rest of the code
 
//------
 
return(0);
}
 
//----------------
 
void Face(int pips)
   {
      ObjectCreate("face", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
      ObjectSetText("face",CharToStr(74),30,"Wingdings",White);
      ObjectSet("face", OBJPROP_CORNER, 2);
      ObjectSet("face", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, pips+volume);
      ObjectSet("face", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 190);
      WindowRedraw();
   }





and if for some reason your interested in the basic outline remaining the same but vary something else, such as the Symbol(), you can use time.... seconds or minutes....

as example, this ea scrolls thru all pairs on all time frames and returns information pertaining to the symbol.... it sorts the information and displays it in various manners.... one such 'text' manner is shown below....

every few seconds a new pair is selected from the symbol[] array..... and the displayed 'text' info changes accordingly......h

string SelectSecond()
{
int second = TimeSeconds(TimeCurrent());
if(second >=  1 && second <=  3) sym = symbol[0];
else
if(second >=  4 && second <=  6) sym = symbol[1];
else
if(second >=  7 && second <=  9) sym = symbol[2];
else
if(second >= 10 && second <= 12) sym = symbol[3];
 
//--- and so thru the rest of the symbol[] array
