Objects: set time zero+- X distance

 

basically - how to shift lable on macd to the right?

-it don't wanna go easy way...

...

string objname=WindowExpertName()+","+Symbol()+","+Period();

if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)

ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,

WindowFind(WindowExpertName()+" ("+FastEMA+","+SlowEMA+","+SignalSMA+")"),

Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);

else

ObjectMove(objname,0,Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);

if(pips!=0)

ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

else

ObjectSetText(objname," ",FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

again, thank you everybody who helped:

when setting time (moving an object) to the right, use this function

int customTime(int a)

{

if(a<0)

return(Time[0]+Period()*60*MathAbs(a));

else return(Time[a]);

}

if you call it with - argument (say customTime(-5)) you are going to get FUTURE time and your object is going to be shifted to the right

int customTime(int a)

{

if(a<0)

return(Time[0]-Period()*60*a);

else return(Time[a]);

}

 

again, thank you everybody who helped - that's what i find out:

"When setting time (moving an object) to the right, use this function

int customTime(int a)

{

if(a<0)

return(Time[0]+Period()*60*MathAbs(a));

else return(Time[a]);

}

Thank you, Michel!

I'll try!

let me show how it was done with indi above:

before:

string objname=WindowExpertName()+","+Symbol()+","+Period();

if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)

ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,

WindowFind(WindowExpertName()+" ("+FastEMA+","+SlowEMA+","+SignalSMA+")"),

Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);

else

ObjectMove(objname,0,Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);

if(pips!=0)

ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

else

ObjectSetText(objname,"",FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

//---- done

return(0);

}[/PHP]

after:

[PHP]

string objname = ShortName;

int window = WindowFind(ShortName);

int labelShift = -5;

if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)

ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,window,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);

else ObjectMove(objname,0 ,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);

if(pips!=0)

ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

else ObjectSetText(objname," " ,FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

//---- done

return(0);

}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int customTime(int a)

{

if(a<0)

return(Time[0]+Period()*60*MathAbs(a));

else return(Time[a]);

}
 

It seems ok, just you do not need to use the MathAbs() function, as there you are inside the "if(a<0)" condition so always negative.

 

yepp, thank you, Michel!

so overall shift formula will be:

string objname = ShortName;

int window = WindowFind(ShortName);

int labelShift = -5; // or it goes to: extern int labelShift = -5;

if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)

ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,window,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);

else ObjectMove(objname,0 ,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);

if(pips!=0)

ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

else ObjectSetText(objname," " ,FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

//---- done

return(0);

}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int customTime(int a)

{

if(a<0)

return(Time[0]-Period()*60*a);

else return(Time[a]);

}
