here is a nice trick to plot text vertical (and keep it there):

inputs:
P1 (5);

vars:
intrabarpersist Low_P(0),
intrabarpersist TxtID(-1);


Low_P = GetAppinfo(aiLowestDispVa lue)+0.25;


TxtID = Text_New(Date, Time,Low_P,NumToStr(Ticks ,0));
if TxtID >= 0 then
begin
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[0], 0, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[1], 1, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[2], 2, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[3], 3, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[4], 4, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[5], 5, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[6], 6, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[7], 7, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[8], 8, P1 ) ;
Value1 = TextFloat( TxtID[9], 9, P1 ) ;
end;



enjoy

you need the function Text_Float.
Best use is on minute charts - (as always on this time-based old tradestation grave)

thanks for the code.

can you post a chart to illustrate the effect?

[jojojo]

no problem
here you go - as you noticed , I took ticks in this example
