At the end of the day, I print out the days chart and file it away. I was manually writing the day of the week on the chart, to later see if there was correlation in the DOW price action.
So to make life easier I thought I might as well print this on the chart automatically as each day starts. So on the first tick of the day, it prints the DOW to the left of the first bar.
The drawing of the DOW is actually in two parts.
1. Is the calculation of the DOW and placement into a string.
2. The actual printing of the string using a function.called "printtext"
The PrintText function has input parameters for the Day,time,position,text,size,color AND printing of the text in either a horizontal or vertical format.
The printtext function could be used for a multiple of things ie vertical printing text directly above a bar ie "Inside Bar" or whatever.

Hi All,
The market I trade goes from 9:50AM to 4:30PM.
During this time I get so wrapped in the trades that I tend to forget about what time it is and other external or market related events that happen at specific times.
As an example, most morning trends tend to finish around 11:30AM.
But there are also other events that happen that can effect the price of the market I'm trading, such as Forex news announcements, CPI news etc. All of these are at specfic times of the day (I use ForexFactory.com to look up this information each morning and enter into this study)
So I tought it would be handy to have a reminder/alarm clock for these events.
So the the attached file study allows 3 time based events to be entered that will generate Alerts in Multicharts 10min prior, 5min prior and the actual event time. There is also a EOD (End of Day) time that can also be entered.
When the Alert happens, it displays the yellow Multicharts Alert box with the description of the Alert that was triggered ie "CPI News Announcement"
The Alert/Propeties can be set to automatically clear after a certain period ie 10secs or only clear by clicking on the alert with the mouse. (My preferred way)
