I'm using the following command to draw an arrow:
Arw_New(Date,Time,H+1,True)
This draws a down arrow at 'date' and 'time'. All works well.
However, 'time' is only accurate to 1 minute, so if the bars are of less than a minute (e.g. fast printing tick charts), the arrow appears at the beginning of the minute, not on the bar that generated the signal. The same is true for 'Text_New' as well of course.
So, is there a command to say "print an arrow above the current bar'?

Re: Printing Arrows & Text accurately.
That's close enough, thanks for the quick reply TJ.
I do wish there was a pdf file I could print into some kind of reference manual that I could literally thumb through. Help files are great when you have some idea of what you're looking for but if you just want to browse, a paper copy is easier to work with.
That said, there are other things I'd sooner see MC staff work on, such as an 'undo' command!
Thanks again.

Re: Printing Arrows & Text accurately.
Do you mean something like the EasyLanguage Reference Manual (PDF)? Perhaps a little bit too much to print, but the PDF versions (see also the pdfs here) are quite handy to search through with Ctrl - F.I do wish there was a pdf file I could print into some kind of reference manual that I could literally thumb through.
