The Drawings menu

• Search tools… to find a tool quickly.
• Magnet snaps points to prices; Lock stops drawings being moved by accident.
• On this chart lists everything drawn: select one, rename it or open its settings, hide it, delete it — or show all, or delete all.
• Drawing sets, the Quick Wheel slots, Keyboard Hotkeys, and each tool's defaults.

The Quick Wheel

Hold Q over a chart, point at a tool and release to arm it. The wheel has eight slots — out of the box: Trend line, Ray, Horizontal line, Zone, Position, Measure, Fib and Text. Right-click a tool in the menu to put it on the wheel.

Right-click

• On a drawing — its settings, Duplicate, Bring to front, Hide/Show, Delete, and Save as default for that tool.
• On an empty part of the chart — add the current tool here, change what is added, Set alert here, Copy price, Show hidden drawings.
• On an alert line — Alert settings, Remove alert, Copy price.

Drawing sets

Drawings belong to a named set per symbol, so you can keep, say, a clean set and an annotated one. Create sets under New set name (the default set cannot be renamed). Sets sync across your devices and are shared with the charts in the terminal.

Keys

Drawing keys act on the chart under the pointer. Rebind any of them except Esc under Keyboard Hotkeys: click a binding, then press the keys you want; reset restores the defaults. The full table is on Hotkeys.
