Drawing

Drawing tools

Open the Draw menu at the top of a chart to place trendlines, channels, Fibonacci and Gann tools, shapes, notes, Elliott counts, position plans and volume tools. Drawings appear on every chart of the same symbol and stay aligned with the price action when the candle size changes.

The Draw menu open on a GOOGL chart: Lines, Fibonacci & Gann, Shapes & notes, Trade planning and Volume, each with its tools, then Eraser, Keep drawing, Remove all drawings, Show toolbar on the left and Guide to each tool.

Every tool in one menu

The Draw menu lists every tool in five groups: lines, Fibonacci and Gann, shapes and notes, trade planning, and volume. Some tools have shortcut keys. The same tools can sit in a column down the left of the chart, and Keep drawing leaves a tool armed for several drawings in a row.

A parallel channel on META: the base line along two lows of a rise and the channel’s width up to the high between them, both lines extended to the right.

Parallel channels

Click two points for the base line and a third for the width, then extend either line to the right or left. Trendlines, horizontal lines and rays, vertical lines, arrows and a regression trend are in the same group, and a line can carry an alert.

A Fibonacci extension on GOOGL: a swing up, the pullback after it, and the extension levels projected from the pullback, each labeled with its price.

Fibonacci levels from a swing

For an extension, click the start and end of a swing, then where the next move starts: the levels 0.618, 1, 1.272, 1.618 and more are drawn from there, each with a price. Retracements, pitchforks, Gann fans and time zones are in the same group, and the levels can be changed.

An Elliott impulse on ORCL, numbered 1 to 5 down a stair-step of lower highs and lower lows.

Elliott counts

Click the origin and the end of each wave to mark a five-wave count, numbered 1 to 5 on the chart. A three-wave correction and an XABCD pattern, which shows the ratio of each leg to the one before, are separate tools.

A long position plan on AVGO fifteen-minute candles, with the entry, the stop and the target as shaded zones and the reward-to-risk ratio, and a measure across the rise before it showing price, percent, bars and time.

Position plans and measure

Click an entry price for a long or short plan, then drag the stop and target. The zones show the distance to each and the reward-to-risk ratio. Send to ticket fills the order ticket with the plan’s levels without placing an order. Measure shows the change in price, percent, bars and time between two points.

An anchored VWAP on AMD two-hour candles, started at a low, with the volume profile of the range since then: the volume traded at each price as rows, the busiest price marked.

Anchored VWAP and volume profile

Click a bar to start a VWAP from it instead of from the session’s open. Click two points to see the volume traded at each price between them, with the busiest price and the band holding 70% of the volume marked.
