Variable Pixel shift up or down. Please help!

New comment
 
Hi guys, does anyone know the variable  code to pixel shift up or down in mt4? I have a indicator which can move up or down at the top left of my screen but can’t access the code. I need to move a local time clock down. 

Thanks for any help!

So what do you think "pixel shift down" does when you increase the value? What happened when you tried it?

Ok, that pic is from a different indicator. but that pic is of an ex4 file (if that’s the right name not at my computer) so I can’t access the code to copy and paste to ‘time indicator’

I just need to move the time clock down a little because its in the way of other indicators at the top left of the screen

Show the code and maybe somebody can help you.

I need the code myself, that’s what I’m trying to say lol

I meant show the code for the ‘time indicator’ that you want to modify.

Try changing this

Maybe to 

   ObjectSet("Label_bt", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 50*ZoomLevel);// Y coordinate

Or just increase the ZoomLevel input.

Awesome that helped , thanks! do you know how i could just keep the local time and get rid of the date?
