Help required with adding text pool

Hello ,

I would like to add a text pool on one corner of the chart.
So if I drag the text to one place , its stays in the new place and new one is created in the same corner instead of the one I just took.

I made an indicator , but it doesn't work as I want , any help is highly appreciated.
PHP Code

You are only creating 1 label.

If you need to move it then you will need to create a new label (different name)
for the 1st one to stay where you moved it to, if that makes sense.

It does make sense ,thats why in the code i check if the old label has moved and i create new one in this line
ObjectCreate(one+DoubleToStr(Seconds(),0), OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
The new name = old name + Random seconds

Sorry missed that bit.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve but does this do it?

Thanks a lot , but now when I move the text from its place , many new texts are created in its place every second on top of the old one .

Is it possible to keep the original text to only one item , and create new one only when the old one is shifted ?
