This chart shows the price of Crude Oil (CL1!) over the last few years. It is a daily chart and we're going to use it as an example to show you how to quickly measure the time and price change of any asset.
Today, major news came out of the Middle East about a conflict that involves the US, Iran, and Iraq. The news had oil spiking higher. However, when you zoom out, you can see a much bigger move has already been in motion since crude oil bottomed in late 2018. Since that day, more than 375 days ago, crude oil is up 48%.
Measuring the distance and change of an asset is easy. Press and hold "Shift" on your keyboard and click on the chart. This measurement tool will show you price change, percentage change, total bars, and time. Follow these steps:
Step 1 - Open a chart for an asset you're interested in.
Step 2 - Hold "Shift" and click on the chart from where you want to measure.
Step 3 - Drag your measurement point to any distance you need.
We hope you enjoyed this chart and quick tip. If you enjoyed it, press Like or leave a comment.
@fiftyeight, It's under the same dropdown as the long and short position tool. Hope you find it there and enjoy it!

Por que cuando mido hacia abajo me da un porcenaje menor que cuando tomo la misma medida hacia arriba me da un porcentaje mayor ?
Why does it give me a lower percentage when I measure downwards than when I measure upwards it gives me a higher percentage?

@UnknownUnicorn27849113, Yes, click on the Pen button below on the toolbar. It’s a little tricky to use, hard to describe, but eventually it’s obvious.
