Charting Tools
Let's Get Technical
Multi-Line Tool
Some contracts will have a continuous line, or trend, of alternating support and resistance. To illustrate these multi-lines, select the Multi-Line tool from your Charting toolbar. Click on the chart where you want your line to start. Move your mouse to the next point on your multi-line and click to place. Repeat this until the last point. When placing the last point on the multi-line, right-click to finish.
Resizing the Multi-Line
Select the multi-line drawing by clicking on it. You will know the multi-line is selected when boxes appear at the ends of the multi-line. Click on a box and drag it to your desired length. Release the mouse button to place.
Moving the Multi-Line
Select the multi-line drawing by clicking on it. Click on the multi-line, not a box, and drag it to the new location. Release mouse button to place.
Deleting the Multi-Line
Select the multi-line drawing by clicking on it. Press the Del (Delete) key on your keyboard. You can also right-click the multi-line drawing and select “Delete” from the dropdown menu.
