Hi sierra,

im trying to find a text box option to mark a higher time frame overlay study.

I attached a screenshot with my current chart view. the main price graph is a 30 min timeframe, the overlay chart is a 4h timeframe. I want to label them as showcased in the screenshot. Right now I am using the type text tool.

However as the day goes on, that candles move but the text boxed do not, so at some point, chart and text boxes are misaligned. is there an option to have text boxes that move with time?

There are two different text tools. One that is tied to a specfic bar date-time and moves with it (Type Text) and another that is stationary (Stationary Text). Refer to the information for these items at the following link:
