The drawing tools allow you to draw (on a chart) horizontal and vertical lines, support and resistance lines, Fibonacci retracement lines as well as many other items such as Pitchfork, Gann Square, Cycle Line... We have also implemented a tool that allows you to create custom drawing tools. These drawing tools can also be shared between QuantShare users. To use a drawing tool: - Click on one item in the Drawing tools toolbar. For example, click on the Trendline button. When you move your mouse over a chart, notice how the cursor icon has changed. - Click on any point in a chart and move the mouse. You have just created the first anchor point of the line. - To create the second point, simply click again on the chart. You can update drawing tool settings by right clicking on it then selecting "Settings". Using our previous example, move your mouse near the trendline then right click. The settings form contains several tabs. These tabs settings depend on the drawing tool you are updating. Basic Settings: - Update the color and see how the drawing item color is automatically updated. - To make changes permanent to future drawing tools (same type). Click on "Save Settings" in the drawing tool settings form. Note that settings in the "General" tab are not saved. This is because these settings are updated by selecting the following menus: Color, Stick, Line width, Line Style. - To close the form, simply click anywhere outside this form or click on the "Close" button. - To make the form appears on the top of a chart, click on the "Red" button.
