I have this code and it works fine, but i would like to be able to moved the text up so it's i.e 10 pips from the top of the chart and the same time i would like to be able to center the text to the day period separators so it's always in the middle

How can i do that?

Here's the code i have

Isn't it possible to have it like 10 pips away from the top of the chart no matter you change of the time frame?

Thank you.

The distance from the top of the chart works great when i change time frame.

Can you change it, so the text between the day period separators is centered?
