Hi all,

Instead of using Text_New, first create a text by hand on your chart, if
it's the only one displayed, then this text will be named Text#0.
If there are other texts, you can right click on the insteresting one to see
its number.

and then apply the following code

Input: TextBoxNumber(0);

If LastBarOnChart then begin
    Text_SetLocation(TextBoxNumber,Date,Time,Close);
     Text_SetStyle(TextBoxNumber,1,1);

end;

If CurrentBar = 1 then Plot1(C,"");
