The way I would do it is to use the function "Text_SetLocation" explained
below from the help files.
Initialize a variable for the text then assign the text to the variable,
then reference the variable in the Text_SetLocation function
VARS: txtvar(0);
if currentbar = 1 then txtvar = Text_New(date,time,0," test ");
Text_SetLocation(txtvar,Lastcalcdate,Lastcalctime,Highest(H,20){just a
suggestion for a vertical value, this can be anything});
Text_SetStyle(txtvar,1,1); {this will help to place the text}

help file:
Text_SetLocation
Category: Drawing Object
Function: Text_SetLocation(TX_Ref,Date,Time,Val)
Usage:
Moves a text object to a new location in the chart window specified by means
of the date, time and value specified. The date and time inputs can be
considered the x-coordinates and the value can be considered the
y-coordinate. If the function is not successful, an error code is returned.
Example:
Text_SetLocation(24,950418,1100,32) moves text object number 24 to the new
location. The new location will be where April, 18, 1995 at 11am intersects
with the price 32.
