Ray
- How to draw it
- Drag from the start point along the move
- Used for
- Extending the line over the candles to come
Horizontal price line
- How to draw it
- Click the price you want
- Used for
- Pinning an important level with its price on the axis
Measure
- How to draw it
- Drag from the start of a move to its end
- Used for
- Reading the difference in points, percent and candles
Drawing on desktop
- 1Pick a tool from the vertical rail at the edge of the chart — the cursor changes and a hint shows the active tool.
- 2Press and drag to see the shape form live, then release to commit it.
- 3Click an existing shape to select it: its endpoints appear. Drag an endpoint to change the slope, or the middle to move the whole shape.
- 4Escape cancels an unfinished drawing or clears the selection; Delete removes the selected shape.
- 5To go back to normal navigation, choose the select cursor at the top of the rail and dragging pans history again.
Drawing on a phone
On small screens the tools live in the horizontally scrolling top toolbar. Tap a tool, then drag with one finger on the chart to draw. With no tool armed, one finger pans history and two fingers pinch to zoom as usual. Your drawings stay glued to their candles while you navigate and through every price update.
Reading the measure tool
measure readout +187.35 +7.67% 432 bars │ │ └─ candles between the two points │ └─ percentage move └─ absolute price difference (sign = direction)
A measurement is temporary by nature: it stays until you tap empty space or start a new drawing, because you usually need it for a moment of comparison rather than to keep. The numbers always read left to right in arithmetic order, even in the Arabic interface, as price reading convention requires.
Saving and sharing
- ▸Drawings are saved per symbol on the device instantly, and need no account to start.
- ▸Sign in and they are stored with your account too, so opening the symbol on the phone shows the lines you drew on the desktop.
- ▸Changing timeframe does not clear them: each shape is anchored to time and price, so it lands in the right place on the new timeframe.
- ▸The snapshot button turns the chart, your drawings and your studies into a single shareable PNG.
- ▸Full screen widens the drawing area on desktop before you work on fine detail.
- ▸The eraser button clears every drawing on the current symbol and leaves other symbols untouched; the clearing travels to your other devices too.
From a drawing to an alert
A shape you drew can watch the market for you. Select a horizontal line, a trendline or a ray, then press the bell in the tool rail: a horizontal line gives an alert at a fixed number, while a sloped line gives one whose level travels with the slope at every check. From then on the alert runs on the server and reaches your phone and inbox, even if you clear the drawing or close the page.
