Hi,

I would like the labels shown in the screenshot to
extend to the LEFT from the time, rather than
to the right, which is shown.

From the Strategy code I use setText with
SwingConstants.RIGHT but this does not achieve
right-justification of the text label relative to
my time, which is the current time right side
of the chart.

How can I achieve left-justification of this text?

Thanks,

Hi,

Unfortunately, currently there is no such functionality. The only way to do that is to manually calculate size of text, then manually calculate size between bars on screen and then move text label several bars left.

Also you can make a feature request, but there is no guarantee that it will be implemented any time soon.

Thanks. Is there a way for me to put all of my labels at
the extreme LEFT side of the chart ? Or if I can get
the timestamps of the extreme left side of the visible
chart, then I could use those timestamps.

But that information is probably not available?

Look at this method:
https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc/com/dukascopy/api/IChart.html#getMinTime()

Example:

        IChart chart = context.getLastActiveChart();
        IChartObjectFactory factory = chart.getChartObjectFactory();

        long time = chart.getMinTime();
        double price = history.getLastTick(Instrument.EURUSD).getBid();

        IChartObject text = factory.createText("test1", time, price);
        text.setText("TEST TEXT");
        chart.add(text);

Brilliant. chart.getMinTime() was all I needed to
place my labels on the left of the chart.

Thanks!!
