Overlapping/Jumbled Text.

[MajorD]

Hi all,

I have been here for a number of months now and have certainly learned a great deal not only on trading in general but on the industry as a whole from the great minds(many thanks to you all) here at SHF many of whom have created
some fantastic looking indicators & EA`s but for some reason when loaded on charts the text is overlapping

The indis/EA`s are all working as they should but unfortunately they look like crap, a state I`m sure said Great Minds did not intend to be so.
Plz see below Ex. 1 & 2.

I know, terrible to look at is it not!?!
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated, I have looked believe me(google, FF, babypips etc)
but any search with "overlapping" in it led me to threads about price and the criss-crossing of MA`s, bah!

Oh BTW, you may need to explain it to me as you would a five yr old so if you are so kind as to reply with the one true fix I hope you have plenty of time and patience.
ie. Goto ____
Click/double click ______
high-light _____...
... I`m sure you get the picture.
Anyway

Great to be here! Hey all.

Cheers
D.

Never mind, I jumped in and got my hands dirty with my first ever bit of code fiddlin` and fixed the problem.
It just came down to column spacing...

Code: Select all

int    ExtShifts[COLUMNS] = { 10, 100, 190, 380, 425, 500, 595, 700, 820, 900, 1000, 1100 };
int    ExtVertShift = 14;
int    ExtVertOffset = 8;

...and Background coverage. Just find where ever it says "60, 13, background_color);"
and change to...

Code: Select all

75, 13, background_color);

or your own personal preferences.

Also, why can I find an Indicator(Baludas 6.2 SlopeStrength) in the "Navigator" window and load it on a chart but it wont show up in MetaEditor? :
EDIT:These fixes are for iExposure Tickets only, have`nt managed to find the MM indi spacing problem as of yet.

hey, mate,

before going into much coding see if changes to your display will help.
if you're on w7, try changing into "smaller". It will reduce the spacing and font size to fit neatly.

..or not
try it out, see if it works.

Hey monkeh,

Yes I discovered that over at fxaw and it did fix the issue.
All indicators looking clear.
Fantastic.

Thx mate.
