Chart & Drawing Tools Guide

Big, legible examples—click any image/GIF to open full-screen.

Quick start

Draw

Pick a tool → click/tap-drag to place anchors → release to finish.

Edit

Switch to Select to move/resize. Use the style panel for color/width/fill/opacity.

Save

Signed-in: cloud save per symbol/timeframe. Guests: local only. Clear All wipes this chart.
Why draw?
Faster decisions: levels, trend context, event windows and targets are visible during live action.

Tools & how to use them

Segment

Finite A→B trendline. Connect two pivots to mark a leg; useful for break-of-structure checks and measured moves.

Ray

Like a trendline that extends forward. Great for projecting a trend into the future to see likely reaction zones.

X-Line

Infinite line through two anchors. Use for long-term context or median lines that should cross the whole chart.

H-Line (Horizontal)

Support/resistance at precise prices. Click once to place; drag to fine-tune.

V-Line (Vertical)

Time markers: earnings, FOMC, expiries, planetary exacts. Helps compare price behavior before/after the event.

Rectangle

Supply/demand zones, gaps, consolidations. Use 20–35% fill opacity to keep candles visible.

Ellipse

Soft highlight for rounded bases/tops or cycle windows without harsh edges.

Channel

Two anchors set direction; the third sets width. Watch rail bounces and the midline for continuation or failure.

Fibonacci (Retracement/Extension)

Drag low→high (or reverse). Common pullbacks: 38.2/50/61.8. Targets: 100/161.8.

Label

Annotate entries (E:), stops (S:), targets (T1:). Keep labels slightly offset so they don’t cover candles.

Arrow

Point at key candles/levels to make intent obvious in screenshots and shared charts.

Path

Sketch scenarios quickly—curved paths to show possible routes without committing to exact levels.

Polygon

Draw triangles, wedges, or head-and-shoulders outlines to document patterns and measured moves.

Quick example: Select, move & restyle

Switch to Select to move/resize and change style. Delete/Backspace removes an item.

Quick example: Fibonacci in action

Zoom to the swing, anchor low→high, read 38.2/50/61.8 levels. Add a label for 161.8% target.

Quick example: Build & adjust a channel

Place the third handle to fit parallel touches; midline often acts as dynamic S/R.

Pan & Zoom

Drag to pan; wheel/pinch to zoom. For precise anchors, zoom to the swing first.

Clear All

Removes every drawing on the current chart (confirm prompt prevents accidents).

Style & Lock

Adjust color/width/fill/opacity. Lock finished levels to avoid nudges; hide layers you don’t need.

Risk reminder
Drawings visualize a plan; they don’t guarantee outcomes. Always size positions and define exits.
