I am attempting to use a chart template that worked successfully in MS 6.52 which contains a window showing the security, OI, and two indicators. In MS 9.1, when I write text on the chart, it disappears after I click outside the text box (sometimes on the same chart the text writing function works properly, it seems to be dependent on the location of the text). If I remove the indicators, the text function works properly. I can add ONE indicator with a new scale on the left and the text function works properly. However, the Value item in the Data Window reads the indicator value and NOT the security value as desired. I have imported the MS 6.52 template into MS 9.1 and also recreated the template from scratch in MS 9.1. Neither approach worked. I have tried every combination of scaling with no success. Why does a template that worked in MS 6.52 not work in MS 9.1? Is there a way of forcing the Value item in the Data Window to use the security scale (right scale) instead of the indicator scale (left scale)?

fiore Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, UNanchoring the text renders the chart meaningless if either the amount of data viewed is changed or the chart is scrolled since the chart moves but the text referencing a chart feature stays fixed at the same position on the screen. bakraz

The Text is being achor to some thing other that the price data. This happen on chart that have several indicators or an indicator mey be close to the price bars. Try placing the Text box closer to the price bars. Then you may want to try recreate the template applying the indictors in different order this may correct the issue. Doc

Building further on the solution suggested by Mr. Doc, you may right click on the TEXT BOX and select "Scaling..." - here we will get a dialog box to select the plot on which to anchor the Text. Regards SMG
