Interpretation limits

A fixed marker does not track the live pointer or execute an action.

Notes & markers

Arrow

Highlights a direction or points at a chart event.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the tail to the arrow tip.
  2. Use it to point at a breakout bar or an annotated area.

Interpretation limits

The arrow expresses your observation, not an automated signal.

Shapes

Rectangle

Highlights a zone bounded by two prices and two times.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag between opposite corners.
  2. Set a light fill so candles remain readable inside the zone.

Interpretation limits

A zone is a selected area, not evidence of resting orders.

Shapes

Ellipse

Circles a local cluster of bars or an unusual move.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag across the bounding box around the bars of interest.
  2. Adjust its handles to resize the ellipse.

Interpretation limits

Its outline is a visual annotation, not a calculated market boundary.

Shapes

Triangle

Draws a filled shape using three selected vertices.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click each of the three corners in order.
  2. Move vertices to frame the area you want to highlight.

Interpretation limits

A geometric triangle is different from confirmation of a triangle price pattern.

Records the path of your pointer as a freehand stroke.

Link to this entry
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Press and draw continuously, then release to finish.
  2. Use a short stroke to circle or underline a detail.

Interpretation limits

Freehand strokes are imprecise; use anchored lines for exact levels.

Shapes

Polyline

Connects a sequence of manually selected points.

Link to this entry
12345
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click each turning point.
  2. Double-click to finish; Enter or Escape can also finish an open polyline.

Interpretation limits

It follows selected pivots and does not automatically detect swings.

Shapes

Arc

Adds a curved annotation between two anchors.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag between the ends of the area you want to arc over.
  2. Reposition the anchors to change its span.

Interpretation limits

The curvature is illustrative and does not fit a price cycle.

Shapes

Flat Top / Bottom

Frames a horizontal price band between the anchor prices.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag diagonally across the range.
  2. Keep the top and bottom aligned with the boundaries you want to compare.

Interpretation limits

The band is manually chosen; it does not identify a consolidation automatically.

Channels

Channel

Draws parallel boundaries around a selected direction.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click two anchors for the base direction and a third for the channel width.
  2. Adjust the third point to compare the opposite boundary.

Interpretation limits

Channel width depends on the selected pivots and is not a volatility estimate.

Channels

Parallel Channel

Creates an equidistant channel from a baseline and an offset.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click the beginning and end of the baseline, then a third point for the offset.
  2. Compare touches on both boundaries.

Interpretation limits

Parallel edges do not guarantee that the next bar will stay inside.

Channels

Andrews’ Pitchfork

Builds a median line and two parallel outer lines from three pivots.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click the origin, then two later opposing pivots.
  2. The median points from the origin toward the midpoint of the other two anchors.

Interpretation limits

Changing any pivot changes the whole construction; the median is not a target guarantee.

Channels

Regression Trend

Fits a regression line to bars within the selected time span.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag across the start and end of the interval.
  2. The fit follows the bars in that interval rather than simply connecting the two clicked prices.

Interpretation limits

The result depends on the interval and available bars; deviation rails are not a forecast confidence interval.

Fibonacci & Gann

Fibonacci Retracement

Divides a selected price move into proportional retracement levels.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the beginning of a move to its end.
  2. Check the anchor direction and read each labeled ratio against the original move.

Interpretation limits

Ratios describe geometry; reaching a level does not confirm a reversal.

Fibonacci & Gann

Fibonacci Extension

Projects proportional levels using a move and a retracement anchor.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click the move start, its end and the retracement point.
  2. Compare the projected levels after checking all three anchors.

Interpretation limits

Projected levels are references, not expected returns or guaranteed exits.

Fibonacci & Gann

Fibonacci Fan

Draws ratio-based rays from the beginning of a selected move.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag across the move to establish the origin and range.
  2. Read the fan as sloped reference lines.

Interpretation limits

The appearance changes with chart scaling; ray touches alone are not entry rules.

Fibonacci & Gann

Fibonacci Time Zones

Projects vertical time references from a selected base interval.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag between two time anchors.
  2. Compare subsequent vertical zones with the original interval.

Interpretation limits

Time zones do not forecast a price direction or a precise event.

Fibonacci & Gann

Fibonacci Circles

Draws concentric ratio-based rings around an anchor.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the center to set the base radius.
  2. Use the rings as a visual comparison of distance from the origin.

Interpretation limits

Price and time use different units; zoom and scale affect the visual geometry.

Fibonacci & Gann

Gann Fan

Draws a family of angle rays using two reference anchors.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the origin to establish the reference direction.
  2. Keep scale settings consistent when comparing the rays.

Interpretation limits

An on-screen angle is not a universal price-to-time relationship.

Fibonacci & Gann

Gann Box

Subdivides a selected time and price rectangle into a grid.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag between opposite corners of the reference range.
  2. Compare price and time divisions within that box.

Interpretation limits

The divisions depend on your chosen box and do not prove market cycles.

Measurements & positions

Measures the absolute and percentage difference between two prices.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the starting price to the final price.
  2. Read the signed price difference and percentage relative to the starting point.

Interpretation limits

Measured price change excludes position size, leverage, fees and execution.

Measurements & positions

Date Range

Measures a time span between two chart anchors.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag from the first event to the second.
  2. Compare the displayed duration with the selected chart timeframe.

Interpretation limits

Elapsed time and the number of available bars can differ when history has gaps.

Measurements & positions

Measure

Combines price change, percentage, bar count and duration.

Link to this entry
12
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Drag diagonally across the move.
  2. Read both price and time measurements before comparing another interval.

Interpretation limits

Use the same timeframe for bar-count comparisons; this is not a trade profit calculation.

Measurements & positions

Long Position

Sketches entry, target and stop zones for a long idea.

Link to this entry

Measurements & positions

Short Position

Sketches entry, target and stop zones for a short idea.

Link to this entry
123

1 — Entry · 2 — Target · 3 — Stop. This drawing does not place orders.

Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click entry first, target second and stop third.
  2. Check that the target is below entry and the stop above; adjust the handles.

Interpretation limits

A short-position drawing is an annotation and does not submit or protect an actual trade.

Patterns

Elliott Impulse Wave

Labels a manually selected five-point wave sequence.

Link to this entry
12345
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click five successive turning points in their time order.
  2. Review the labels and reposition any incorrectly chosen pivot.

Interpretation limits

The tool provides markup; it does not validate Elliott wave rules or find waves automatically.

Patterns

XABCD Pattern

Connects five pivots labeled X, A, B, C and D.

Link to this entry
12345
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click X, A, B, C and D in order.
  2. Use separate measurements to review the proportions of the selected legs.

Interpretation limits

A drawn XABCD is not automatic recognition or confirmation of a harmonic pattern.

Patterns

ABCD Pattern

Patterns

Head and Shoulders

Marks a five-pivot head-and-shoulders outline and neckline.

Link to this entry
12345
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Click the left shoulder, first trough, head, second trough and right shoulder.
  2. Check the neckline against the selected troughs.

Interpretation limits

The outline is manual and does not confirm a breakout or reversal.

Patterns

Triangle Pattern

Draws a converging pair of reference lines using three anchors.

Link to this entry
123
Construction sketch. Numbers mark anchors; the scale is illustrative.

How to use

  1. Place the shared apex first, then the end of each boundary.
  2. Adjust the two boundaries around the selected highs and lows.

Interpretation limits

Unlike the filled triangle shape, this marks a proposed pattern; a breakout still requires separate observation.
