problem entering text in mt4

I have a problem when entering text in the chart in mt4 .
I state that the label text instead works as it should .
In practice, when I insert a text in a given tf ..... changing tf chart the text disappears... so if i came back to my tf original chart where i put it is disappears .
The same thing happens if I turn off and power back mt4 .

If someone helps me ... thanks


another question .... are there implementations for mt4 that allow you to draw more items ... ( .. type. line with arrow or broken lines or text, etc. .. manually . etc. . )


thank

Hi,

Not sure if this is helpful, but MT4 supports two types of text objects: text and labels. Text is set at a price/time co-ordinate and thus moves around when you scroll your chart, change timeframe, etc. Labels are fixed to a particular point on the screen, and hence remain fixed as you scroll your chart around.

Both are objects. You can view all objects by pressing Ctrl-B. If the text or label object exists, it will be present in that list, even if you've scaled the chart in such a way that it's no longer visible on the screen. Apart from these scaling considerations, objects should not disappear due to changing the timeframe, or closing down MT4.

To answer your final question, there's only one implementation of MT4 that I'm aware of, and it supports only the object types that you can access from the INSERT option in MT4's pulldown menu (at the top of the screen).

what is happening is that the code itself is deleting the objects, when ever the time scale is changed MT will remove the code from the chart and replace it with a different copy of the code with the new time scale. turning on of your computer will do the same thing. changing the symbol too.

If your puting on the objects from the MT platform do not use any of them that uses price and time as they can still be there but not with in the current screen view, if its a coded indicator then the code needs to be changed to first not delete the object on TF changes and have the object visiable on all time frames. if you want to have the objects still there on restarts you have to have MT not delete the objects on any conditions
