need help adding a label to indicator

New comment
 

Can someone add a label to this indicator at the end of the line where I can add text through the properties window of the indicator? link to codebase

please pretty please...

It should look similar to this price label but I want to add custom text.
 

Anyone have any idea as to how this would be done?

Can it be done?


I am guessing ObjectCreate but I have no idea what represents the line or how to attach a label to the line.

I want an external string at the end of the price of the indicator....

 
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
 

Still waiting for help?

Ok any other ideas? I was unable to add a label to the indicator that displays text. This is very hard to do.
