Hi,

I have a number of custom indicators in columns O to Z in a Spreadsheetsystemfortrading study.

I am going into studies > settings (for the SS study) > subgraphs. What I am trying to do is to get a short "text" description (maybe as short as 1 or 2 letters) to appear when a particular column condition is met where an up/down arrow might usually appear by default. When I try this for "draw style" > "text", "star" or others - for columns K to N it usually works but on other occasions the text appears near the zero line of the vertical price scale which squashes up the price action, especially for the latter columns like SG16 or column Z, etc. Is there anyway I can consistently get the "Draw style" to appear near the price action instead of at the zero price scale. I have tried playing around with the settings but haven't been able to crack it, I have tried various "draw styles" and they all appear near zero which distorts the price graph.

Also, to avoid a 2nd post; is there anyway to have a 2nd line (3rd line or more) of text below an up/down arrow alert for example a down arrow with the text underneath (again so that I know what condition has been triggered..) I don't think this is supported?

Regards

1. This is explained here:

2. Use additional study Subgraph/Spreadsheet Columns and use the Text Draw Style:
