Arrow

Annotatehotkey ATwo clicks — tail, then tip

An arrow from here to there. For pointing at the candle that matters — in your own review, or on a chart headed for the community feed.

What it is

A plain arrow between two clicks. No math, no levels — annotation, for making a chart say what you noticed.

How to draw it

Arm it (A), click where the arrow starts, click what it points at. Like every drawing it persists on the symbol, so the note-to-self is still there next week.

Universal mechanics: every tool is single-shot (it disarms after each drawing — the pin beside ✏ Draw re-arms it in one click), Esc cancels mid-drawing, clicking a finished drawing selects it for the ✕ Remove chip, and drawings persist per symbol, anchored to their candles.

How to read it

An arrow reads however you aimed it. The discipline worth keeping: point at evidence (the volume spike, the failed breakout, the gap that never filled), not at feelings.

Using it on the wheel

Most arrows on this platform end up in two places: weekly reviews (marking the bar where a thesis was proven or broken) and shared charts in the community, where an arrow does what a paragraph of chat text cannot. Screenshots for trade breakdowns get the same treatment.

Like everything in this guide, these are descriptions of conditions and reference levels — context for your own decisions, not instructions to trade.
