The following may be about what you need. This finds the highest and lowest prices over some number (Length) of bars and calculates a price at which to draw the text.

Vars: Length(200), HH(0), LL(0), Loc(0), ID(0), Str1(""),

Str1 = "This is the text";

if LastBarOnChart then begin
  Str1 = "This is the text";

  HH = Highest(High, Length); {Find highest price over past Length bars}
  LL = Lowest(Low, Length);   {Find lowest price over past Length bars}
  Loc = HH - 0.1 * (HH - LL); {Calc price near top of span}
  ID = Text_New(Date, Time, Loc, Str1);  {Draw text}
  Value1 = Text_SetColor(ID, Tool_Red);  {Set color}
  Value2 = Text_SetStyle(ID, 1, 2);      (Set style and justification}
end;
