'mplfinance - how to display numbers on top of each candle stick

How can I display letters or numbers on each candle stick on mplfinance? For example, I want to show 0 (for green bars) and 1 (for red bars) on top of each candle stick, instead of marks.

There are a number of ways to do this. You can do it with Axes.text() or with Axes.annotate() as noted in these examples:

However, probably the easiest solution is to use mpf.make_addplot() to create a type=scatter plot where you want the numbers to appear, and then pass in a sequence of markers for the marker= kwarg (of make_addplot), and use Mathtext markers for the markers (for example "$1$" is a '1', etc.)
