Hm, true, TradeStation doesn't have that word (I'm a MultiCharts user). I've just scanned through the TradeStation 8.3 EasyLanguage manual, and using the reserved words that I found there, something like this should work..

 
Code 
variables: leftDate(0), leftTime(0), rightDate(0), rightTime(0);

if LastBarOnChart_s = true then begin

    leftDate = JulianToDate(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));
    leftTime = (HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 10000) + 
        (MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 100) +
        SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

    value10 = Text_new_s(leftDate, leftTime, Low - 0.02, "Hello");
    value11 = Text_SetStyle(value10, 0, 2);
    
    rightDate = JulianToDate(GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime));
    rightTime = (HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime)) * 10000) + 
        (MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime)) * 100) +
        SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime));
    
    value15 = Text_new_s(rightDate, rightTime, High + 0.02, "GoodBye");
    value16 = Text_SetStyle(value15, 1, 2);
    
end;
Since I don't use TradeStation, I don't know if it would work, but it contains a workaround for not using DateTime2ELTime_s and thus (in theory) should work for TradeStation (it works here on MultiCharts fine).

Good luck.

yeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I had to make some correction, as text_new is expecting the time in this format: hhmm.ss, so the working version for tradestation is:
 
Code 
(HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 100) + 
(MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))) +
SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

I continue here... Jura's help has been fantastic!

Now the text is correctly positioned and moved anytime I resize the chart.
One single problem: the first plotted test (the one plotted when I activate the indicator) remains there.
Then when I resize, a new text is plotted in the correct position and moved anytime I resize, but the first plotted text remains there!

PS: also when there is a new bar, the text plotted in the previous bar in not moved but a new text is plotted.

 
Code 
vars:
	date_1(0),
	time_1(0),
	price_1(0),
	hours(0),
	minut(0),
	time_2(0),
	txt_id1(-1), txt_id2(-1),
	txt_id3(-1), txt_id4(-1), txt_id5(-1);


date_1 = JulianToDate(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

time_2 = (HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 100) + 
        (MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))) +
        SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

price_1 = getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue)-0.5*offset_points;


//text creation and first position
		//txt_id1 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1, "--------------------------------");
		txt_id2 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));
		txt_id3 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_buy,0));
		txt_id4 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_sell,0));
		txt_id5 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_sell,0));
//text position		
//value1=text_setlocation(txt_id1, date_1, time_2, price_1); //riga
value2=text_setlocation(txt_id2, date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points); //buysetup counter
value3=text_setlocation(txt_id3, date_1, time_2, price_1-1.5*offset_points); //buysetup status
value4=text_setlocation(txt_id4, date_1, time_2, price_1-2*offset_points);
value5=text_setlocation(txt_id5, date_1, time_2, price_1-2.5*offset_points);

ok, I solved!

Just put the text_new function inside a routine conditioned by currentbar=1:

 
Code 
if currentbar=1 then
		begin
		//txt_id1 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1, "---" +text(setup_buy));
		txt_id2 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));
		txt_id3 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_buy,0));
		txt_id4 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_sell,0));
		txt_id5 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_sell,0));
		end;

Real quick glance, I think you can do all this using the reserve word "once":

once cleardebug;
once txt_id2 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy Setup " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));

and etc.

But same diff.

Thanks Mike.

But both with my version and your version, the box positioning work ok, but I dont know why, the variable dispays wrong values, as confirmed by the print command on the same variables (this does not happen without the "once" command or the check for the currentbar=1).
Actual piece of code:
 
Code 
vars:
	date_1(0),
	time_1(0),
	price_1(0),
	hours(0),
	minut(0),
	time_2(0),
	txt_id1(-1), txt_id2(-1),
	txt_id3(-1), txt_id4(-1), txt_id5(-1);


date_1 = JulianToDate(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

time_2 = (HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 100) + 
        (MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))) +
        SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

price_1 = getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue)-0.5*offset_points;


//text creation and first position
		//txt_id1 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1, "--------------------------------");
                once cleardebug;
		once txt_id2 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));
		once txt_id3 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_buy,0));
		once txt_id4 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_sell,0));
		once txt_id5 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_sell,0));
//text position		

value2=text_setlocation(txt_id2, date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points); //buysetup counter
value3=text_setlocation(txt_id3, date_1, time_2, price_1-1.5*offset_points); //buysetup status
value4=text_setlocation(txt_id4, date_1, time_2, price_1-2*offset_points);
value5=text_setlocation(txt_id5, date_1, time_2, price_1-2.5*offset_points);


if symbol = "GS:EUR A0-FX" then 
	print(
	date, "  ",
	time, "  ",
	"Setup count Buy", "  ",
	setup_count_buy, "  ",
	"Sequential Buy", "  ",
	count_dwn_buy, "  ",
	"Setup count Sell", "  ",
	setup_count_sell, "  ",
	"Sequential Sell", "  ",
	count_dwn_sell
	);

solved!!!

sure, the once command allowed for the txt creation only once !! I had to re-evaluate the string.
Final code:

 
Code 
vars:
	date_1(0),
	time_1(0),
	price_1(0),
	hours(0),
	minut(0),
	time_2(0),
	txt_id1(-1), txt_id2(-1),
	txt_id3(-1), txt_id4(-1), txt_id5(-1);


date_1 = JulianToDate(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

time_2 = (HoursFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime)) * 100) + 
        (MinutesFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime))) +
        SecondsFromDateTime(GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime));

price_1 = getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue)-0.5*offset_points;


//text creation and first position
		//txt_id1 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1, "--------------------------------");
once cleardebug;
		once txt_id2 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));
		once txt_id3 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Buy 	Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_buy,0));
		once txt_id4 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_sell,0));
		once txt_id5 = text_new(date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points, "Sell Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_sell,0));
//text position		
//value1=text_setlocation(txt_id1, date_1, time_2, price_1); //riga

value10= text_setstring(txt_id2, "Buy 	Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_buy,0));
value2=text_setlocation(txt_id2, date_1, time_2, price_1-offset_points); //buysetup counter

value11= text_setstring(txt_id3, "Buy 	Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_buy,0));
value3=text_setlocation(txt_id3, date_1, time_2, price_1-1.5*offset_points); //buysetup status

value12= text_setstring(txt_id4, "Sell Setup       " +numtostr(setup_count_sell,0));
value4=text_setlocation(txt_id4, date_1, time_2, price_1-2*offset_points);

value13= text_setstring(txt_id5, "Sell Sequential  " +numtostr(count_dwn_sell,0));
value5=text_setlocation(txt_id5, date_1, time_2, price_1-2.5*offset_points);


if symbol = "GS:EUR A0-FX" then 
	print(
	date, "  ",
	time, "  ",
	"Setup count Buy", "  ",
	setup_count_buy, "  ",
	"Sequential Buy", "  ",
	count_dwn_buy, "  ",
	"Setup count Sell", "  ",
	setup_count_sell, "  ",
	"Sequential Sell", "  ",
	count_dwn_sell
	);
