Popup "Screenshot"
Chart images for your journal, taken the way you want them.
Opened from Setup next to Screenshot in the Settings tab. The shot itself is taken with the 📷S and 📷M buttons on the Tools bar, or from a hotkey.
1. Image
1.1 Resolution 720p, 1080p, 2K, or Native — exactly what you see on screen.
1.2 Align Which edge the price action is anchored to when the picture is wider than the chart: Right or Left.
1.3 Format PNG, GIF or BMP.
2. What is in the picture
2.1 Hide UI Take the panel and the floating bars out of the shot, leaving a clean chart.
2.2 Hide Zone Take the zone boxes and their lines out as well.
2.3 Defer frames How many frames to wait after hiding things, so nothing is caught half-drawn. Raise it if pieces of the panel still appear.
3. Custom Look
3.1 Master switch Force a different chart appearance for the shot only, then put your chart back.
3.2 Grid Show or hide the grid in the picture.
3.3 OHLC Show or hide the OHLC line at the top.
3.4 Period Sep Show or hide the period separators.
4. Multi-TF Capture
4.1 Master switch Take one picture per timeframe in a single go — the same setup seen from M5 to D1, ready for a journal entry.
4.2 Timeframes Tick which timeframes are in the set. The EA switches through them and returns to the one you started on.
Popup "Sessions"
Shades the trading sessions on the chart, so you can see at a glance which market was open when a move happened.
Opened from Setup next to Sessions in the Settings tab. Every click applies at once.
1. Sessions
1.1 Master switch Turns the whole session display on or off in one click, without losing which markets you had chosen.
2. Markets
2.1 Sydney The Asian open.
2.2 Tokyo The Asian session proper.
2.3 London The European session.
2.4 New York The US session; its overlap with London is the busiest part of the day.
Each market has its own colour, and the shading follows daylight-saving changes automatically.
3. Good to know
3.1 Higher timeframes Session shading is hidden on D1, W1 and MN, where a session no longer means anything on the candle.
Popup "Theme"
The colour scheme of the whole panel and of the chart behind it.
Opened from Set Theme in the Settings tab. A theme is applied the moment you click it and is remembered.
1. Themes
1.1 Dark set Midnight, Dark Blue, Deep Purple, Green Teal, Dark Tone, Purple Pink, Crimson, Slate Rose.
1.2 Light set Light, Sakura, Rose Light, Coral Light.
1.3 What changes Panel, popups, zone boxes, lines and the chart background all follow the theme, so the tool never clashes with your chart.
2. Candles
Candle colours can be left to the theme, or overridden on their own.
2.1 Presets Midnight, Mono, Frost, Sage and Orchid — each sets the bull body, bear body and the two bar colours together.
2.2 Custom Opens the colour picker, where you set all four colours yourself: bull body, bear body, up bar and down bar. Pick from the square and the hue slider, or type RGB or a hex code; a sample candle shows the result.
2.3 Back to the theme Clicking the preset that is already selected clears the override and the candles follow the theme again.
Popups "Zone Paging" and "Zone Filter"
When several zone boxes are open at once the chart gets crowded, so the panel shows them a page at a time.
The paging bar appears by itself once there is more than one executed zone, at the bottom of the chart.
1. Zone Paging bar
1.1 Filter Opens the filter window below.
1.2 Page size How many zone boxes are drawn on the chart at once.
1.3 < and > Move to the previous or next page of zones.
1.4 Counter Which page you are on and how many there are in total.
1.5 Drag strip The grip on the right moves the bar; the position is remembered.
2. Zone Filter
2.1 Market Show open positions, and narrow to Buy or Sell only.
2.2 Pending Show pending orders, and narrow to Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop or Sell Stop.
2.3 X Closes the filter window; the filter itself stays as you left it.
3. Good to know
3.1 Display only Paging and filtering change what is drawn. Trades that are not on the page keep running, keep their stops, their break-even and their trailing exactly as before.
3.2 Panel figures Profit and Loss in the Trade tab count every zone on the symbol, including those on other pages.
Popup "Price Alerts" (☰A)
Alert lines on the chart: drop a line at a price and be told when it is crossed — on any symbol, not only the chart you are looking at.
Opened from ☰A on the Tools bar; a new line is added with the 🔔 button next to it.
1. Adding a line
1.1 🔔 on the Tools bar Drops an alert line on the current chart. Drag it to the price you care about — the row in this table follows.
2. The table
2.1 Symbol The symbol the line belongs to. Lines on other symbols keep being watched while you work on this chart.
2.2 Price The level being watched.
2.3 Rung How many times the alert repeats when it fires, ten seconds apart. Click the number to change it.
2.4 Mode Whether the line arms again after it has fired, or is done.
2.5 🔔 on a row Orange = armed, grey = already fired. Click to arm or disarm that line.
2.6 ✕ on a row Deletes the line and its alert.
3. Header buttons
3.1 🔔 in the header Arms or disarms every line at once.
3.2 ✕ in the header Deletes all lines, after a confirmation.
4. Good to know
4.1 Where it appears Delivered through the Alert event in Notify & Sound — choose screen card, phone push or sound there.
4.2 Your own drawings Trend lines, rectangles and horizontal lines you draw yourself can raise alerts too; those are the Objects events in Notify & Sound and need no setup here.
Popup "Candle Alert" (☰C)
Warns you a few minutes before a candle closes, so you are at the screen when the bar you are waiting for prints.
Opened from ☰C on the Tools bar. The same window also controls the floating countdown bar.
1. Candles time remaining (first frame)
1.1 Show / Hide A small floating bar counting down to the close of each timeframe you tick, for example 12:45 M15 | 3:45:12 H4. Drag it anywhere; its place is remembered.
1.2 Timeframe buttons M1, M3, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 — tick the ones you want on the bar. Times come from the trade server, not from your PC clock.
2. New alert
2.1 Timeframe Which candle you are waiting for.
2.2 Alert N bars ahead Which close to aim at: 1 is the candle now forming, 2 the one after it, and so on.
2.3 min before close How many minutes before that close to warn you.
2.4 Repeat How many times to repeat the alert, ten seconds apart, so it is not missed.
2.5 Apply Adds the alert. The target moment is frozen right then, so the alert survives changing chart or timeframe afterwards.
3. The table
3.1 Rows Every alert you have set, with its timeframe, its target time, the bars ahead, a live countdown and a status that turns to Fired once it has gone off.
3.2 Delete Removes a row.
4. Good to know
4.1 Where it appears The alert is delivered through Candle Close in Notify & Sound, so enable a screen card, push or sound there.
4.2 Saved to disk The list survives restarts.
