Overview

Skipp Labels exports functions for string safety and buffer control. The safe label text function truncates long strings to a maximum of 120 characters to maintain visual clarity. The capped label function creates new price labels while maintaining a size-limited array, automatically deleting the oldest labels when the buffer exceeds a set limit to manage chart object limits efficiently.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
