The script enclosed below will write the most recent trade on the chart.
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("LastTrade");
    setShowCursorLabel(false); 
}

function main() {

    var Price = formatPriceNumber(getMostRecentTrade());

    drawTextRelative(2,getMostRecentTrade(),"t",Color.blue,null,Text.VCENTER,"Wingdings 3",8,1);
    drawTextRelative(4,getMostRecentTrade(), Price, Color.blue,null,Text.VCENTER,"Arial",10,2);

    return;
}

Great piece of code - already started using it - but is it possible to cut down decimal places - sometimes it prints a whole load of 0s with a 1 at the end.

I have edited the script and it will now use the price format of the symbol being charted.
Copy it again from the prior message

Get this syntax error:

SyntaxCheck, line 12: Parameter Number 3 of Function drawTextRelative is invalid

What version of eSignal are you running? If I remember correctly that error was fixed in 7.9
If using 7.9 are you getting this error while running a syntax check on the script or when you apply the efs to the chart? If the former try loading the efs on a chart. If the latter what symbol/interval?

Using 7.9 and get error when syntax checking from editor.

Try loading the efs on a chart and see if you still get the error.
I think that formatPriceNumber(getMostRecentTrade()) retrieves the information it needs from the chart

It works when used on the chart. I am a 4GL programmer (ever heard of SAS software) by trade - so used to checking syntax.

Thanks.
