Zoneshotkey BTwo clicks — opposite corners

A shaded rectangle over an area of the chart, labelled with its price band. Levels are rarely a single price — the box admits it.

A rectangle between two corner clicks, shaded lightly with its price band labelled above it. Support and resistance are usually zones, not lines — a range where buyers repeatedly appeared, a consolidation that traded sideways for weeks. The box draws the honest version of what a single line over-simplifies.

Arm it (B), click one corner, click the opposite corner. The band label shows the exact price range so the zone is a number, not just a shape.

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.

A consolidation box defines the range that matters: acceptance back inside it after a breakout attempt tells you the breakout failed; a clean departure with the box behind price tells you the market has moved on. Old consolidation zones often act as support or resistance when price returns to them — the box marks where to expect that argument.

Sellers box the demand zone under a candidate rather than trusting one line: a put strike below the whole zone is behind every price where buyers recently showed up, and the label states exactly how much room the zone gives. The distance from spot to the top of the zone is a visual cushion check before the screener's numbers say the same thing.

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