It's fairly easy to do this and have the information displayed somewhere on the chart. It is not possible, with the built-in tools, to have the values displayed with the line and actually follow it (i.e. move up/down with the line).

If you want to be able to move the line and have the information update with the movement, then start with the "Horizontal Line" tool and set that line where you want it. Then add a Spreadsheet Formula study to the chart and enter the formula you want for one of the items you want to display. For instance, to get the tick difference you would enter the following formula:
=(L - UDID[1].A1) / TICKSIZE

where the [1] is the ID of the line you established. Refer to the following for this:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Reference by Anchor

You would then use the "Text Display for Study" referencing the Spreadsheet Study to get that information displayed on the chart somewhere.

You would need additional copies of the Spreadsheet Formula and the Text Display for Study to get all the item you want.

Keep in mind, the Spreadsheet Formula study, despite its name, uses the Alert syntax.

Refer to the following:
