The indicator will follow the trend of a 14-period RSI and will signal the OverBought and OverSold areas.
Insert the Lenght for the RSI calculation – 14 is the standard value
The RSI_Value contains the RSI calculations
This is the calculation formula for the RSI – 14 periods
The condition is simple; when RSI is under 30 the indicator adds the text
Value1 is the variable that contains the text
Text_New is the EasyLanguage Reserved Word:
Value1 = Text_New(BarDate, BarTime, Price, “MyText”)
In this example we’re using:
BarDate = Date — Actual date
BarTime = Time — Actual time
Price = Low — Add text at Low Price for oversold and at High Price for OverBought

How to avoid unnecessary text repetitions
The RSI indicator can remain overbought or oversold for numerous bars. The indicator will then add the text in each bar, creating a useless repetition.
To avoid this problem we will have to create an additional filter. For example, we will add the text only when the RSI changes from normal to oversold or overbought.
With these modifications, the text is added only when the change passes from normal to oversold or overbought.
