How to control the gap of the 'automatic painter'.. ?!

[JJF]

Greetings,

(Lots of questions lately... )

Anyway, I like the system that MT4 paints the price tab in red or green 10 pips before it takes an action (SL, TP or buy/sell if pending)

It works fine with currencies like EURUSD, but in some commodities like FT_GOLD, it paints these tabs "too late".

I would like to find a way to set the pips gap (to the current price) when to paint?
(for FT_GOLD, I have to at least triple this gap)

Hope that my question is clear enough.

Thanks,

James

Oo ... now I get it. You need WinAPI to do that.

What about drawing all your position on a chart using Text Object ?, that way you don't have open the terminal. There's CI in MT called iExposure, try to look at that.
