Unfortunately, no. TS scales the chart automatically based on the
price range and any indicators you plot. EL does not provide any
way to determine the date/time and price ranges that are visible on
the chart.

You can kludge around this to some extent. TS always scales the
chart so all indicators are on the screen. You can write a simple
indicator that draws a line near the top of where you think the
chart should be (based on recent highs, for example), then write
your text just below where that line is drawn. Set the line's color
the same as your chart background so you don't see it.
It's messy, but it works.
