Label at the end of the indicator line

[user_123]

Dear community,

I would be very  grateful if somebody could help me with the position of the label. I would like to create some labels at the end of the indicator lines like on the picture below. The labels should move to right, if we get new candles. 

 

 

I try to solve the problem with the "price" and "time" property of the CChartObjectLabel object, but the label is always shown at the left upper corner?

Thank you very much!

#property indicator_chart_window
#include <ChartObjects\ChartObjectsTxtControls.mqh>
CChartObjectLabel myLabel;

   int limit;
   if(prev_calculated==0)
      limit=0;
   else limit=prev_calculated-1;
   
   string text = "Level " + DoubleToString(close[limit]);
   myLabel.Time(time[limit]);
   myLabel.FontSize(20);
   myLabel.Price(close[limit]);
   myLabel.Color(White);
   myLabel.Font("Tahoma");
   myLabel.SetString(OBJPROP_TEXT,0,text);
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
  }

I'd change time[limit] and close[limit] to time[rates_total-1] and close[rates_total-1].

Dear enivid,

yes you have have right with the index. I changed it, like you say, but it does not help. The label is still in the left upper corner.

Hi user_123,

1. Don't create object in OnInit(). There's a risk that the object gets deleted and never will be created again - unless we open the property window.

2. If we create multiple objects, make all of them have different names, for example, My_Lines_1, My_Lines_2, My_Lines_3, ... etc. If we have single name when creating multiple objects, the last created object is the winner, all of previous created objects are all dead.

3. Use CChartObjectText::Create (OBJ_TEXT) and not CChartObjectLabel::Create (OBJ_LABEL). Object text will stick with the chart with price time coordinates while object label will stick with chart window with x, y pixel coordinate - that is why you have one text on left upper corner because you creating text label with x = 0, y = 0 coordinates on upper left = 0 corner with the same name !.

Dear onewithzachy,

thank you very much! 

Hi user_123,

You're welcome :) 

You may want to anchor it to the left (ENUM_ANCHOR_POINT : ANCHOR_LEFT) and add that time[limit] with (n*PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_CURRENT)). n is the number of bar to the right.
