Draw Rectangles and lines in Tradestation without basing them on the stock evolution

May 27th, 2020, 08:39 AM

Good evening,

I have what in my mind is quite a basic question, but honestly I am stuck and I don't know how to do it

I know how to use the trend lines and Rectangles in Tradestation � but I have to draw them based on the evolution of the stock (from one candle to another)

How can I do it if I want to draw a Rectangle or a line on the graph without basing/linking them to the evolution of the stock?. I don't want to draw my line from one candle of the stock to another � It would be like "free drawing" somehow

thank you in advance for your help
Best regards

It is years ago, I've used Tradestation, but under settings (of the drawing-tool) there must be something like "dock" "undock" (cannot remember the exact word)
