Crosshair

This refers to a charting tool that is used to draw a line vertically and horizontally on the chart. It is controlled by the mouse. The Crosshair Mode tools allow the user to specify how to move and use the crosshair feature (red cross on the chart). The different types of movements include:

  1. Hidden-Not visible on the chart

  2. Free-Crosshair appears on the chart after a click.

  3. StickyClick- The vertical bar moves somewhat freely with resistance with mouse movements, but the horizontal bar changes only after a mouse click specifies a location.

  4. Sticky-Crosshair moves with resistance in any direction.

  5. Mouse-Crosshair moves in any direction without restriction.

  6. On the Chart Toolbar, select and click on one of the Crosshair mode tools. Refer to the icons in the red box in the Figure below.

  7. Or, to gain access to any one of the command areas, also right-click anywhere in the chart to display the Context Menu. 

  8. Select and check the tool to activate the mouse.
