Use Text_SetStyle to position the text more appropriately.

If you want to display text above the high of a bar, use
Text_SetStyle(ref, 2, 0);

If you want to display text below the low of the bar, use
TextSetStyle(ref, 2, 1);

Those will position the text away from the bars.  To move them even
further away, add or subtract some fraction of AverageTrueRange to
the vertical position.
