Hi,
Is it possible to use a study like "text display for study" but have the text under/over a candle similar to "color background based on Alert condition"?

Ie: using color background based on Alert condition but displaying a sub study.
I'm currently using the "text display for study" x10

This would be very helpful for me keeping track of numbers

There are Draw Styles which can be used with any study which will output as text Subgraph values and also a fixed Subgraph text string. Refer to:

This is all that is available.

Hi Thanks for the info, but I'm confused.
I have a simple moving average, I would like to display the text value under the candle instead of the curve.

I hide the SMA and use a Text display for study (region #1) referring to the SMA ID:SG, I don't know what to put in the subgraph tab, I've tried text with a large width/size but it still displays at the X, Y settings.

I've also experimented with the SMA subgraph tab, text draw style but it didn't display anything.
Mike.

Sorry, but the image doesn't help.. can someone please explain how it's done?
The instructions don't make sense to me:
Text (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_TEXT): This Draw Style will display the specified text at each chart bar/column at the level of the Subgraph value for that bar/column. The actual text is specified with the Text to Draw setting for the Subgraph. To clearly see the text, be certain to set the Width/Size setting for the Subgraph to a large enough value. For example, use 12. Refer to the image.

Thanks for any help.
Mike.

Thanks, got it :)
Impressive! auto-colouring +/- works :D

Any way of limiting it to X number of candles?
If not that's okay
