Hello junkone,

Thank you for your note.

They are printing, they're just printing outside the visible range of the screen since you're telling them to print at 1.5 on the Y Axis.

Draw.Text(this, CurrentBar.ToString() + "NineCrossAbove20", "9 cross above", 0, 1.5, Brushes.Pink);

This needs to be a value that's going to be somewhat close to the bar for them to be visible. Try using High[0] + 2 * TickSize there instead. You could use the low minus a few tick offset to put prints below the bar if you prefer that.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
