Objects on the MetaTrader platform
Every line, label and arrow that you see on a MetaTrader price chart is referred to as an Object. The MetaTrader platform provides a set of MQL functions for programatically creating and deleting Objects. The Object functions are available from the VTS Function Toolbox under the Advanced->Object menu. The Object functions are on the Advanced menu because they require advanced MQL knowledge and can be difficult to use.
Objects can be manually created using the toolbar on the top of the MetaTrader platform. The objects that can be created from the MT tool bar are:
- Vertical line
- Horizontal line
- Trend line
- Channels line
- Fibonacci lines
- Text
- Arrows
