sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
see pic, label appears on the pass on 4/8/10, but not on 4/19 and 4/27.

here's the code :

'# TDbuy = chart.TDseqBuy.3

Static barlow As Single
Static bar8low As Single
Static bar9low As Single 
Dim stoploss As Single
Static bar9pos As Integer
Dim low As Single
Dim stoptxt As String

If isfirstbar Then
 barlow = -1
 bar8low = 0
 bar9low = 0
End If

If TDbuy.value = -9 Then
 barlow = price.minlow(2, 2)
 bar8low = price.low(1)
 bar9low = price.low
 bar9pos = currentindex
 low = price.MinLow(5)
 For I As Integer = 1 To 5
  If price.Low(I) = low Then
   stoploss = price.Low(I) - (price.High(I) - price.Low(I))
   stoptxt = "stop=" & stoploss
   label(I) = stoptxt
  End If
 Next I
End If
 
 If bar8low <= barlow Or bar9low <= barlow Or price.low <= barlow Then
  pass
  barlow = -1
  bar8low = 0
  bar9low = 0
End If

I have code which on the last bar labels the pivot points for a potential double bottom condition. The label while they are correct they do not always show in the best place on the chart.

Using yesterdays (non-streaming) data as of 8-09-10

 SWX is an example of  one that has the label positioned okay. 

While SXI & RRR are example of where the label are not placed in the best position for viewing.

I think if you had the ability to specify in the realcode the "offset direction" with the same values as one has on the indicator edit window that will allow the realcode programmer to specify the location of the label.

Any chance you might enhance the label to allow us to define in realcode the offset?

as mentioned above, I have a realcode  indicator that labels each pivot point. I want the low pivot label to go below, or lower left  or lower right . While on the high pivot I want the label to go above, or upper left or upper right.   

As it is right now the labels plots are sometimes not even close to the price bar. I'll send the layout and you can see what I mean about the label positioning.

Today I have this code which is executed on last bar:


labelbar = currentindex - p2bar
label(labelbar) = "P2 =" & p2 & " " & pm12 & "%"

labelbar = currentindex - p3bar
label(labelbar) = "P3 =" & p3 & " " & pm23 & "%"

I was hoping for something like this:
for high pivot points

labelbar = currentindex - p2bar
label(labelbar,upper left) = "P2 =" & p2 & " " & pm12 & "%"

and for low pivot points

labelbar = currentindex - p3bar
label(labelbar,lower left) = "P3 =" & p3 & " " & pm23 & "%"

my "green and red" colored price candles are starting to look like a christmas tree. I have a handfull of conditions plotting labels on my charts. I'd prefer to keep my candles just red and green. I dont want them to paint in the color of my condition. 

request :

Don't make it mandatory having to "add to paintscheme" in order to get the labels on the charts:



I'd prefer to keep candles red and green, as per selected paintscheme,
draw true markers and their labels as per color of the condition.
