I clarify a little what I mean with "only aiHighestDispValue works". Code: vars: IntrabarPersist date_1(0), IntrabarPersist time_1(0), IntrabarPersist price_1(0); date_1 = getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime); time_1 = getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime); price_1 = getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue)-offset_points*2; if symbol = "GS:EUR A0-FX" and (time_1<>time_1[1] or price_1<>price_1[1]) then print( symbol, "data-> ", StringToDate(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))), "string data->", datetostring(StringToDate(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)))), "ora-> ", StringTotime(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)))," ", "string time->", timetostring(StringTotime(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)))), " ", getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue):0:4, setup_count_buy," ", setup_count_sell, " ", getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime) ); if date_1<>date_1[1] or time_1>time_1[1] or price_1<>price_1[1] then begin id_3=text_new( date_1, time_1, price_1, "test test test test" ); value2=text_setlocation(id_3, date_1, time_1, price_1); end; I inserted also the print command to verify that the calculated values are the one desired, and I can confirm this. But what I get from text_new is the text is plotted at the correct price level [getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue)-offset_points*2] but at the wrong date/time combination (the text is actually positioned on the first bar of the entire series, not on the first bar displayed). I have also tried converting the date&time to string and then back to value, but it makes no difference: date_1 = StringToDate(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))); time_1 = StringTotime(DateTimeToString(getappinfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))); thanks

I am new in this forum, hope to contribute and learn here. I am dealing with plotting a text on the chart at a fixed position (i.e. upper left corner), based on date/time/price visible on the chart. I am using getappinfo, with aiLeftDispDateTime and aiHighestDispValue, but only the last one works with text_new and set_textlocation. Basically I cant understand how to pass date&time info to text_new separatly as date and time. Any clue? thanks a lot
