Pointer Tracking Settings

The three types of pointers (Small, Large, and Crosshairs) can be configured to draw a Vertical Chart Status line on charts that remains visible after releasing the mouse button, allowing you to put a placeholder on a specific bar. You can then use the scroll bars located at the bottom of your Chart Analysis window to view other data and you are then able to return to the exact bar you marked with your Vertical Chart Status pointer.

The Pointer Tracking action of the Vertical Chart Status line can be set to an individual window or can be set to display across multiple windows in the workspace or across all open windows depending on the Pointer Tracking option that is selected.  

  1. Activate a Chart Analysis window.
  2. From the menu, click Settings > Pointer Tracking.
  3. Select one of the settings listed below:
Setting Action
Off Vertical Chart Status lines will not remain on any chart.
Window A Vertical Chart Status line will remain at the last bar position of the pointer for the current chart window only.
Workspace Vertical Chart Status lines will remain at the selected bar interval (time) in all charts within the active workspace.
Global Vertical Chart Status lines will remain at the selected bar interval (time) in all charts in all active workspaces.
  1. When tracking is active, a T will appear next to pointer.
