"Apply as default settings for.." do not work (still)
05 Oct 2022, 14:25


This is a problem that's been present for over two years whilst using the platform now, and it's really frustrating. I personally have posted about it previously, as others have too.

When setting a colour for a particular tool; ie. Fib, rectangle etc, there is a check box which reads "Apply as default settings for Fibonacci Retracement" (as an example).. Yet it never does. Whenever you go to use any tool, it simply uses the last colour used. I use very light grey mostly for rectangles and rays etc, but when I pull up a fib, it's too light and I have to go and manually change the colour to something brighter. Every. Single. Time. And this is super annoying! Surely this has got to be a simple fix?! 

PLEASE, PLEASE try to sort this out. Thank you!

Hi there, 

That was always like this by design. You cannot save a default color.

RE:

Thanks for the reply! Really? Could this not be implemented? Would be a very nice feature to have and save a lot of faffing around.

I would be very nice to be able to set custom defaults and not just colour. For example, I prefer to have the trend line set to a thickness of 2. It gets very tiresome to have to right-click every single trend line and change it from a thickness of 1 to 2. Maybe I'm missing something but before the new drawing tools menu was implemented, we could set the drawing tools to have defaults going forward, now we can't?

Sorry, it was a mistake.

It is absolutely ridiculous that you can't set a default color for a tool like the horizontal line in a trading platform in 2024.
