These tools provide flexibility for creating custom annotations and highlighting specific chart areas through free-hand drawing.

Pen (Alt + P)

The Pen tool allows for completely freeform drawing on your chart, similar to drawing with a pen on paper. It creates a continuous line that follows your mouse movement exactly.

How to Use

  1. Select the Pen tool from the drawing toolbar
  2. Click and hold on the chart where you want to begin drawing
  3. Move your mouse while holding down the button to create your line
  4. Release to complete the drawing

Practical Applications

  • Create custom annotations
  • Draw attention to irregular patterns
  • Circle multiple areas with a single tool
  • Add personalized notes and markings
  • Sketch potential price trajectories

Customization

  • Adjust line color
  • More customization options coming soon

Highlighter (Alt + I)

The Highlighter creates semi-transparent colored areas to emphasize important regions on your chart without obscuring the underlying price action.

How to Use

  1. Select the Highlighter tool
  2. Click and hold where you want to begin highlighting
  3. Drag across the chart area you want to emphasize
  4. Release to complete the highlight

Practical Applications

  • Mark important price zones
  • Highlight historical areas of interest
  • Emphasize potential accumulation/distribution regions
  • Create visual reference points
  • Mark important news events or earnings periods

Customization

  • Fixed transparency for maximum readability

Path (Alt + Shift + P)

The Path tool creates a connected series of straight line segments. Unlike the freeform Pen tool, Path creates precise, connected straight lines between each click.

How to Use

  2. Click to set the starting point
  3. Click each subsequent point to create connected line segments
  4. Double-click or press Enter to complete the path

Practical Applications

The Polyline tool creates an open-ended series of connected line segments. Similar to Path but designed for creating open shapes rather than closed figures.

How to Use

  1. Select the Polyline tool
  2. Click to place the first point
  3. Click to add each additional point
  4. Double-click or press Enter to finish

Practical Applications
