Displays a text object, consisting of the specified string expression located at the specified bar and specified price value, on the SubChart containing the study.

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

Usage

Text_New_self(BarDate, BarTime, 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 - a numerical expression specifying the time of the bar at which the object is to be placed; the time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 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

  • See Text_New_self_s for placing a text on a SubChart with seconds precision.

Example

Place, on the SubChart containing the study, the text "UpT" at the points of the plot where the Open price has increased incrementally over the last three bars:

Plot1(Close);

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