Use ObjectCreate() with type OBJ__LABEL and you can place it anywhere on the screen.

{quote} Thank You CodeMeister ! I'm a little unclear how that would be applied, or what the situation would be after. At present I have: string sComment = ""; string sep = "----------------------------------------n"; string nl = "n"; which is then followed by the respective lines of text. How would I integrate the line You suggest in this instance... and also would the "object" itself shift as we move through time or would it remain fixed where placed ? Thank You again. FM .

{quote} You mix thingies together which does not (and cannot) belong togehter. For example: Comment("BLA BLUB BLA BLA BLUP WATERBUFFALO SICK AND NO BEER, BROTHER NO MONEY GO SCHOOl, BLA RIP OFF, DUMB, BLA BLA BLUP"); , will wirte the text on screen, starting on the left side of the window. What you refer to are graphical objects, it is a difference. Have a closer look to the reference on mql4.com, or, better, have a look to some EA which does what you also want the ea to do ....
