  1. Buttons are fixed to (x,y) pixel coordinates, not to prices. That is why your move does not work.

    //  ObjectMove(buttonId, 0, Time[0],0);

    int x,y; ChartTimePriceToXY(0,0, Time[0], Open[0], x, y);
    ObjectSetInteger(0, buttonID, OBJPROP_CORNER, CORNER_LEFT_UPPER);
    ObjectSetInteger(0, buttonID, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,    x);
    ObjectSetInteger(0, buttonID, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,    y);

  2. You don't have to continuously move the button. Place it in the upper right/lower right of the chart and just leave it there.
