Format Strategy/Position Arrows - Entries

The Entries tab allows you to format the color and style of entry arrows and ticks for a strategy or a position, including whether to display the name of the entry signal. You can also choose to connect the entry with a line along by choosing a desired color and style line.

The chosen format for any strategy will apply to all strategies in the same Chart Analysis window. By default, the properties of the first strategy applied to the chart are used until the user makes a specific change.

 If there are no related entries for the selected strategy, the Entries dialog will not contain any information.
