Showing text a specific location on a chart

Welcome to Markplex tutorial 99 in this collection of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage programming skills. Please join our email list if you have not already done so and we will let you know when we release new tutorials or programs.

This tutorial applies to TradeStation (but not MultiCharts).
