Trend Lines, Notes & Shapes and Advanced Annotations

Customize your charts with Trend Lines, Notes and Advanced Annotations.

These tool icons are available above the chart, just below the Indicators drop-down box.

The Gear Icon sets/manages the default for these tools, as well as whether to save Trendlines, Notes & Annotations on the chart (recommended).

Each Trendline, Note Entry and Annotation can be individually customized by color and, where applicable, transparency.

Clicking on any Trend Line, Note, or Advanced Annotation, will display the “Annotation Settings” box for that entry.  

The Annotation Settings box can be repositioned elsewhere on the platform, if needed.

Line Color, Line Width and if applicable, Background Color and Transparency can be changed.

Be sure to click ‘Save’!

Note:  Parallel channels are initially drawn horizontally.  To change orientation click on the annotation then grab one of the ‘edit dots’ to drag to the position you wish.

Then click “Save” on the dialog box.

Crossover Arrows

The Crossover Arrows   identify the crossover points on indicators.

For upper indicators, you can select 2 indicators and the chart will show the crossover arrow.

Example:  If you select the 5 day and 20 day SMA the Green arrows will show the 5/20 crossover points when in an upward movement, Red for downward.

Only 2 moving averages can be selected at a time when utilizing this tool.  If you wish to make a change to another moving average indicator,  one must first be deselected before adding the new indicator.
