Hi bienve.pf,

"Hello, is it possible to draw text or lines in an indicator with IsOverlay = false?"

Yes this is possible

"AND, It is possible to paint text with different size in Charts?"

It is not possible to set the text size at the moment.

Best Regards,

In this example it does not work. Do not draw the text in the Indicator ChartArea:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class overlay : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }


        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            // Calculate value at specified index
            Result[index] = 1;
            if( IsLastBar){              
               var txt = Chart.DrawText("txt", "EURUSD", index + 3, 1, Color.Orange);             
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi bienve.pf,

Use the following line of code

var txt = IndicatorArea.DrawText("txt", "EURUSD1", index + 3, 1, Color.Orange);
