How to display text on the indicator during historical state

[codeowl]

Hi there,

I am running a script in the historical state that takes some time,and I want to render some text on the indicator to say it is "Loading...".
I have tried doing this while in historical state before my code that does the work starts, but it does not render on the chart till after the historical state is complete.

Is it possible to render some text on the chart at the beginning of the historical state that will render straight away, so I can tell the user that loading is in progress?

Thanks for your time.
