Crosshair for drawing tools
16 Mar 2015, 16:09


Hello,

is there any plan to implement keyboard shortcuts for drawing tools so we can use them when pin-pointing something on a chart with Crosshair instead of losing that precision by clicking on the UI for a specific drawing tool? Or even better idea would be to implement a crosshair just for drawing (this is an issue for me when drawing Fib retracements because vertical lines matters for me also) - a perfect example of what I mean would be a "Cross" option used by tradingview.com

Kind regards.

Dear Trader,

In desktop version of cTrader you can use the following shortcuts:

  • Middle mouse or Ctrl+C - Crosshair
  • Ctrl+D - Market snapshot tool

We will consider adding shortcuts for other chart tools.

Thank you for your response and I really hope you do, but I have to insist - what do you think about the idea of drawing tool cross having extended dashed lines across a whole chart - I really think it is a big deal. Besides Fib. retracement, it would also come handy in drawing straight short trendlines (instead of drawing horizontal trendlines across whole chart) and similar with drawing a rectangle - it really adds to precision, efficiency and clarity of a chart which I believe is very important, especially for very low timeframes.

Thank you again.
