Freeform Drawing Tools
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
- Select the Pen tool from the drawing toolbar
- Click and hold on the chart where you want to begin drawing
- Move your mouse while holding down the button to create your line
- 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
- Select the Highlighter tool
- Click and hold where you want to begin highlighting
- Drag across the chart area you want to emphasize
- Release to complete the highlight
Practical Applications
- Mark important price zones
