Hi, I need to plot text symbols upper or lower bars. For first I tried to use Subgraphs with DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_TEXT, but it's unuseful!!! Because it plots ext with background!!! and it cowers the chart and makes this DrawStyle unuseful. We also can't set FontBold for text plotted by subgraphs. Is there a way to disable filling background for DRAWSTYLE_TEXT DrawStyle? Because of it I have to use custom drawing (UseTool function) to plot text. And if I plot one text symbol on each bar, it cases real performance problems. The chart starts lagging while scrolling. And the indicator starts calculating in counts times longer. The indicator it sierra charts trading terminal work fast. But if we start to use UseTool() the chart and the indicators start to lag. It's a real headache. I think the work with Chart Drawing Tools were made unoptimized.
