Anyone know how to do that?

Anyway, I have another question.

Anyone have code to close all positions at a given time?

string Message="";

datetime expire = D'2008.02.04 12:00';

if (TimeCurrent()>expire){
Alert("Trial has ended. Please contact xxxx @ xxxx.com");
return(0);
}else {Message="Price Display Activated";}

ObjectDelete("Price_Account_Info");
ObjectCreate("Price_Account_Info", OBJ_LABEL,WindowFind("Price"), 0, 0);
ObjectSetText("Price_Account_Info",""+Message+" - Expires "+TimeToStr(expire)+"",8, "Tahoma", ForestGreen);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_CORNER, 3);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 5);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 5);




This code puts a message into the indicator window or chart window and an expiry into an Alert Box

This example puts a message into the indicator window or chart window and an expiry into the top left of the chart



datetime expire = D'2008.02.04 13:25';

if (TimeCurrent()>expire){
Comment("Trial has ended. Please contact xxxx @ xxxx.com");
return(0);
}else {Message="Price Display Activated";}


ObjectDelete("Price_Account_Info");
ObjectCreate("Price_Account_Info", OBJ_LABEL,WindowFind("Price"), 0, 0);
ObjectSetText("Price_Account_Info",""+Message+" - Expires "+TimeToStr(expire)+"",8, "Tahoma", ForestGreen);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_CORNER, 3);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 5);
ObjectSet("Price_Account_Info", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 5);

This next example puts both the messages into Comments on the top left of the chart.


datetime expire = D'2008.02.04 13:25';

if (TimeCurrent()>expire){
Comment("Trial has ended. Please contact xxxx @ xxxx.com");
return(0);
}else {Comment("Price Display Activated");}

All of these codes make the indicator disappear when the expiry time is up

A simple indicator as an example posted below
