In the current Mogs he is using the drawing tool within Camtasia recorder, which is the software used to capture the screen for the movie. Not very helpful for TradeStation. On a static picture we often use the drawing tools within Snagit and Snagit studio software from Techsmith.com. Paintshop or photoshop is of course a possibility for static pictures although it may be overkill for what you want. There are some other softwares such as fingerwrite (sp)? which are sort of helpful for drawing on a dynamic chart but are cumbersome and not really solving the problem. Otherwise we use TradeStation for things like rectangles and trend lines.

No perfect solution, unfortunately.
