Geometric Shapes

Guide to drawing bounding rectangles, ellipse bands, custom curves, and brush freehand sketches.

Rectangle

Description: Draws a 4-point rectangle shape to highlight zones.

Practical Uses

Marking consolidation ranges, supply/demand blocks, or session highs.

How to Draw / Use

Click top-left, drag to bottom-right, and click to lock.

Rotated Rectangle

Description: Draws a rectangle that can be angled diagonally relative to the price scale.

Practical Uses

Outlining diagonal consolidation channels or flag patterns.

How to Draw / Use

Click point 1 and 2 to set the diagonal angle, then drag and click point 3 to set thickness.

Circle

Description: Draws a perfect circle centered at an origin coordinate.

Practical Uses

Highlighting clusters of pivots or key market events.

How to Draw / Use

Click the center point, drag outward, and click to lock the radius.

Ellipse

Description: Draws an oval shape defined by width and height bounding boxes.

Practical Uses

Outlining cyclical patterns or price-time support zones.

How to Draw / Use

Click point 1 (origin), drag and set width/height, and click to place.

Triangle Shape

Description: Draws a 3-sided polygon shape.

Practical Uses

Highlighting ascending/descending/symmetrical triangle formations.

How to Draw / Use

Click point 1, click point 2, and click point 3 to close the triangle.

Polyline

Description: Draws connected segments of lines continuously.

Practical Uses

Outlining custom paths, complex waves, or irregular price zones.

How to Draw / Use

Click sequentially to add points. Double-click to terminate the path.

Path

Description: Draws custom paths combining curves and straight segments.

Practical Uses

Tracking complex wave movements or custom patterns.

How to Draw / Use

Click points sequentially to build the path. Double click to finish.

Curve

Description: Plots a single-arc Bezier curve between points.

Practical Uses

Drawing rounded bottoms/tops or parabolic trends.

How to Draw / Use

Click start point, drag to end point, click to set anchor, then drag to adjust the curve height.

Double Curve

Description: Plots a S-curve segment containing two distinct curve inflections.

Practical Uses

Mapping wave transitions or trend reversals.

How to Draw / Use

Click starting and ending points, then drag to set the two curve handles.

Brush

Description: Enables freehand drawing on the chart canvas.

Practical Uses

Circling patterns, drawing arrows, or making handwritten annotations.

How to Draw / Use

Click and hold, then drag mouse/finger to sketch freehand path. Release to finalize.

Sector

Description: Draws a pie sector slice defined by angles and radius.

Practical Uses

Tracking circular cycles and time segments.

How to Draw / Use

Click center point, drag to set radius, then drag to set sector angle and click.

Arc

Description: Draws a circular arc segment.

Practical Uses

Marking parabolic curves or cyclical price bounds.

How to Draw / Use

Click origin, set radius, then drag to set arc segment and click.
