Write some text on the top or bottom of the candle

[Antonio Molinaro]

I'm trying to write some text on the top or bottom of the candle (closest possible). I'm using the code below without success:

void DrawText(string text,const double &high[],const datetime &time[])
{
 
    //datetime Time = TimeCurrent(); // Get the current time
    double price = high[0]; // Get the price of the current candle
    int font_size = 10;
    color font_color = clrRed;
   
   
    // Convert datetime to screen x coordinate
    int x_coordinate, y_coordinate; 
    ChartTimePriceToXY(0,0,time[0],price,x_coordinate,y_coordinate); 
 
    // Draw the text
    ObjectCreate(0, "CandleText", OBJ_TEXT, 0, 0, 0); 
    ObjectSetInteger(0,"CandleText",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,x_coordinate);
    ObjectSetInteger(0,"CandleText",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,y_coordinate);
    ObjectSetString(0, "CandleText", OBJPROP_TEXT, text);
    ObjectSetString(0, "CandleText", OBJPROP_FONT, "Arial");
    ObjectSetInteger(0, "CandleText", OBJPROP_FONTSIZE, font_size);
    ObjectSetInteger(0, "CandleText", OBJPROP_COLOR, font_color);
} 

Please, can anybody point me to what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Look up "OBJ_TEXT", in the reference guide, all the examples/help you need is there.

OBJ_TEXT is anchored in time and price not xy coordinates. Check documentation. There is an example in there.
