I'd like to make a request for a modern version of an overlooked tool!
If you have time this weekend could you code a simple market watermark indicator with a few options?
Options:
- Can automatically center the text!
- Has basic font choices such as: Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman?
- Font size please
- Can be in all caps or lower font
Perhaps it could be a more simple and lightweight version based off the YFX Symbol Watermark?
I think a lot of traders would appreciate this project especially for multiple screens as it would give us the ability to watch over our pairs from afar.......
Is it time for a modern version by Forex Station?
To start this request, here is the cleanest most basic MQL4 code for a Currency Symbol Watermark:
