Text

The text tool writes a label anywhere on the chart, anchored to a time and a price. Use it to name phases, levels and scenarios so the chart explains itself when you come back to it.

What it's for
  • Name phases, levels and scenarios directly on the chart.
  • Keep notes anchored to a time and a price.

Labeling a chart

Chart with text labels Accumulation and Markup separated by a dashed vertical line
Two labels name the phases of the move, accumulation then markup, with a dashed vertical line at the transition.
  1. Choose Shapes & text → Text and click where the text should start.
  2. Type, then press Enter (Shift+Enter adds a line). Escape cancels; an empty text is removed.
  3. Double-click the text later to edit it; choose its size and color in the options.

Charts in this guide use simulated prices generated for illustration; levels and outcomes shown are examples, not observations of a real market. Educational content only, not investment advice.
