pls see attached for example.
A friend of mine did this for his NT.
Can this be done with EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage ?
1. clock/count down timer -- I know how to program a clock/countdown timer, but is it possible to anchor it at the corner of the chart?
Sometimes I scroll the chart, and the clock disappears.
2. comment box -- again, how can I anchor it at the corner? and leave it there even when I scroll the chart or compress the bar spacing ?
Can I anchor the text in relation to the relative location of the chart, instead of price?
3. Paint background -- I know this cannot be done. I hope it is on the Christmas wish list.

Currently, the text can't be docked in MC the way it is shown in the screenshot.

Hi TJ,
I don't know if:
"Text_Float(TextID, TextBarsBack, TextPricePercent)"
works in MC. But that might help if it did.
I think when these are functional in MC, we will be able to do all kinds of neat stuff:
"GetAppInfo(aiHighestDispValue)"
"GetAppInfo(aiLowestDispValue)"
I, myself, would like to put two different indicators over each other in one subchart and both share the same zero line without constantly having to dink around with scaling or having to re-write the code into one single indicator with two plots.

About indic. in subchart....
Hi Marina,
Wow, I didn't know that! I will have to check it out.
Thanks,

Is this what you mean. (See the png-file)I myself have several indic. in the same subchart. Coded them myself. I can turn them on and off. Show the indic. i want to see for the best result. I even have them as a strategy/signal. So then i can use the best comnination.
The possibil. are many with MC.
Good luck with your coding.

Hi T6,
yes, the appearance is what I am shooting for, but it looks like what you have is one indicator with multiple plots.
I would like to pull in a MACD, a Stochastic, and a CCI (for example) all in the same subgraph and have them all share the same mid-line. (the MACD is unbounded with a midline of 0, the stochastic is 0 - 100 with a mid-line of 50, and the CCI is more or less, -200 to +200 and has a mid-line of 0). They would all automatically scale to screen and maintain common mid-lines. Right now I write all my indicators to have multiple plots as you have, so they use the same scale, however, when using radically different scales (ie: MACD and CCI) you have to jump through hoops in the code to get them inside the same indicator. This is especially true when changing the parameters of a MACD when full scale might go from +/- .5 to +/- .005 and I have to go back inside my code and change the scaling factor manually.
By using the max and min upper and lower screen boundary, I can set the mid-line to (max+min)/2 -or- have two invisible plots at +/- maximum absolute value of max or min. That is what I am going to dink around with this weekend.
Why would I like to do this?
a. it visually helps identify confirmations when indicators turn or are divergent.
b. it save screen space
Currently I have to manually click:
"Format Study > Scaling" --> "o User Defined"
and set the maximum and minimum to the same +/- number continuously.
It would be nice if I could just click another option:
"Format Study > Scaling" --> "o Screen: max/min Equal"
Hope that helps,
