Displays a text object, consisting of the specified string expression located at the specified bar and specified price value, on the chart that the study is based on.

Text_New_s returns an object-specific ID number, required to (further) modify the object.

Usage

Text_New_s(BarDate, BarTime_s, PriceValue, "Text")

Parameters

BarDate - a numerical expression specifying the date of the bar at which the object is to be placed; the date is indicated in the YYYMMdd format, where YYY is the number of years since 1900, MM is the month, and dd is the day of the month.
BarTime_s - a numerical expression specifying the time of the bar, including seconds, at which the object is to be placed; the time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmmss format, where 130000 = 1:00:00 PM.
PriceValue - a numerical expression specifying the price value (vertical position, corresponding to a value on the price scale of a chart), where the object is to be placed.
Text - the string expression to be displayed.

Notes

Example

Place, on the chart that the study is based on, the text "UpT" at the top of a bar if the Open price has increased incrementally over the last three bars:

If Open>Open[1] And Open[1]>Open[2] Then
   Value1=Text_New_s(Date,Time_s,High,"UpT");
