Meet the new Highlighter and Signpost drawing tools Education

U.S. Dollar/Japanese YenFXCM

Description

We recently added two new tools that are available to everyone. The Highlighter is an easy way to highlight price levels, notes, and events on your chart. The new Signpost is a fast way to place notes that connect to specific price levels or events. In the chart above, you can see both of these tools in action. Below, we will give you a little more detail about how to use these tools and where to find them.

Highlighter
We've all used a highlighter before to add emphasis to important words or text. Our new Highlighter tool works in the same way. You can highlight price levels, text or other objects on the chart by simply selecting the tool and then highlighting an area on the chart. To get started with the Highlighter tool, find and open the Geometric Shapes menu on the left side menu. This is the same menu where you can find the Brush, Path, and Rectangle tools. Use the Highlighter tool to add additional emphasis to your research and charting.

Signpost
You can find the the Signpost tool on the left side menu under Annotation Tools. This is the same place where Text and Arrows are found. Once you've selected the Signpost tool just click a point on the chart to place it. You can then drag the Signpost up or down and change its distance from the selected point. The Signpost is an effective way to write notes or reminders at specific price levels. You could even make your own Timeline. 😉

Signpost AMAZING addition. My Only gripe with it is that I use a gray background for charts so I would like to be able to change the color of the sign post so I can actually see it on my charts, should be an easy fix cant wait till you guys add that Thanks
