Looks like Swing highs and lows. Look for a Swing indicator in MultiCharts. Keep in mind it won't paint for several bars after where the text appears (then it paints backwards, "repainting").

Hi Proton
try this code


 
Code
INPUTS: 
STR(3),
TXT(TRUE),
DEC(2);


VARS: check1(10);

IF CURRENTBAR >-1 THEN BEGIN
   check1 = 2 * str + 2;
   IF SWINGHIGHBAR(1,TRUEHIGH,str, check1) = str THEN BEGIN
        IF TXT then BEGIN
            VALUE1 = Text_New(D[str],T[str],H[str]+.25*truerange,
            NUMTOSTR(H[str],dec));                                                                         
            VALUE2 = Text_SetStyle(VALUE1,2,1); 
        END;
       PLOT1[str](TRUEHIGH[str] , "Swing High");
    END;

    IF SWINGLOWBAR(1,TRUELOW, str,check1)=str THEN BEGIN
        IF TXT THEN BEGIN
            VALUE1 = Text_New(D[str],T[str],L[str]-.25*truerange,
            NUMTOSTR(L[str],DEC));
            VALUE2 = Text_SetStyle(VALUE1,2,0); 
        END;
           PLOT2[str](TRUELOW[str] ,"Swing Low"); END; END;
