Text Location on TS(MC)

[duhhhh 10]

Hello. Im a TS user

 

Im going to make chart show number at each bar on fixed location

 

but Text_SetLocation(Value, Date, Time, price)

 

only I can locate number on PRICE

 

so the number's location is different at each bar

 

how can I fix this location (ex : bottom of chart)

like above picture

 

Thank you

The function is

 

Text_SetLocation(Text_ID, BarDate, BarTime, Price)

 

The last element in the brackets refers to the vertical point at which you want to set the text. Most people want to set it close to the top or bottom of the bar to which it refers, so they would specify something like:

 

Text_SetLocation(Value1, Date, Time, High + Range*.25);

 

This sets it at one quarter of the range above the high of the bar.

 

However you can set it at a fixed position e.g

 

Text_SetLocation(2, 990114, 1500, 150.00) ;

 

will fix it at price level 150 on every bar.

 

So in summary you can set it at fixed points or based upon any calculation (which may or may not include open, close, high, low, range)

I forgot to mention this.

I want make ; even if I move the chart ,text remains at same location (always bottom of chart like attached pic)

or something like indicator showing text info on subgraph

Another method I've seen is to use the function GetAppInfo which has the parameters aihighestdispvalue and ailowestdispvalue in which the assigned variable would be part of a Text_New assignment:

var3 = getappinfo (ailowestdispvalue);

txtid = text_new (var1, var2, var3, var4);

 

If memory serves me correctly, there's a good example of this in a code submission (by Tams?) a while back. Check Trading Indicators forum.
