basically - how to shift lable on macd to the right?

-it don't wanna go easy way...
...


string objname=WindowExpertName()+","+Symbol()+","+Period ();
if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)
ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,
WindowFind(WindowExpertName()+" ("+FastEMA+","+SlowEMA+","+SignalSMA+")"),
Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);
else
ObjectMove(objname,0,Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);

if(pips!=0)
ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize ,"Courier",FontColor);
else
ObjectSetText(objname," ",FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);

again, thank you everybody who helped - that's what i find out:


"When setting time (moving an object) to the right, use this function

int customTime(int a)
{
if(a<0)
return(Time[0]+Period()*60*MathAbs(a));
else return(Time[a]);
}

if you call it with - argument (say customTime(-5)) you are going to get FUTURE time and your object is going to be shifted to the right".

Thank you, Michel!
I'll try!
let me show how it was done with indi above:

before:
PHP Code:
string objname=WindowExpertName()+","+Symbol()+","+Period();
        if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)
    ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,
    WindowFind(WindowExpertName()+" ("+FastEMA+","+SlowEMA+","+SignalSMA+")"),
                     Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);
    
                
    else
        ObjectMove(objname,0,Time[0]+Period()*60,MacdBuffer[0]/2);
        
    if(pips!=0)
        ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);
    else
        ObjectSetText(objname,"",FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);


//---- done
   return(0);
} 
after:
PHP Code:

   string objname    = ShortName;
   int    window     = WindowFind(ShortName);
   int    labelShift = -5;

  if(ObjectFind(objname)<0)
   ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,window,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);
   else  ObjectMove(objname,0     ,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2);

    if(pips!=0)
       ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);
  else ObjectSetText(objname," "    ,FontSize,"Courier",FontColor);


//---- done
   return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int customTime(int a)
{
   if(a<0)
         return(Time[0]+Period()*60*MathAbs(a));
   else  return(Time[a]);   
}

It seems ok, just you do not need to use the MathAbs() function, as there you are inside the "if(a<0)" condition so always negative.

yepp, thank you, Michel!
so overall shift formula will be:
PHP Code:
  string objname    = ShortName; 
   int    window     = WindowFind(ShortName); 
   int    labelShift = -5;   // or  it goes to: extern int labelShift = -5; 

 if(ObjectFind(objname)<0) 
  ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_TEXT,window,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2); 
  else  ObjectMove(objname,0     ,customTime(labelShift),MacdBuffer[0]/2); 

    if(pips!=0) 
       ObjectSetText(objname,DoubleToStr(pips,0),FontSize,"Courier",FontColor); 
  else ObjectSetText(objname," "    ,FontSize,"Courier",FontColor); 


//---- done 
   return(0); 
} 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ 

int customTime(int a) 
{ 
   if(a<0) 
         return(Time[0]-Period()*60*a); 
   else  return(Time[a]);    
}
