The first graph on this page illustrates what I want to do: http://www.trader4x.com/?p=45min On this graph, the two lines represent two fields from a dataset containing dollar amounts. The text marks ("1 lot", "2 lots") etc. represent another field in the dataset called Lots. My client would like that number to appear, as it does on this graph, near the data point for the red dollar amount line. But since there is no relation between the value of this field (which will generally be between 1 and 100) and the dollar fields (which can be very large), I don't see any way to do this. The best I've been able to do is to create a series for this field with the marks visible but the actual line invisible, which results in all the marks being shown at the same horizontal position near the 0 line on the Y-axis (since they are very small values). I don't see any way to position these marks relative to the value of another series. Is this possible?

Can you explain that further? Maybe it's something in TeeChart that I don't know about. I did find a solution. I saved the values of Lots to a string list, one for each data point. In the OnGetMarkText event of the red series I assign them to the MarkText: MarkText:=NumLotsList[ValueIndex] + ' lots'; Are you talking about a different method? For future reference it would be good to know if there is another way to do this.
