Chart Drawing

Post by Trader Question »

inquiring about a program that "draws" on the charts. I am assuming that it is something along the lines of Microsoft Paint, it can create circles and squares on parts of the graph. She mentioned that my dad had a program like this before. If you could help clue me in to what this program is, that would be great

Well, there are a couple of options for illustrating charts. I use the drawing tools within TradeStation for a good deal ofthe drawingg; this lets me make rectangles and squares with some ease. In TradeStation 8 (the newest version) this is quite useful. I also use a program called Snagit put out by www.techsmith.com that has a "snagit studio" component that is very powerful. I also use PaintShop Pro as a low-cost alternative to PhotoShop and the like.
