Feature Suggestion: Drawing Tools Should Auto-Detect Current Timeframe

[alsheryani Mohammed]

Hello MetaQuotes Team,

I’d like to suggest a small but very helpful feature for MetaTrader 5:

When we use drawing tools such as vertical lines, arrows, rectangles, etc., they are automatically shown across all timeframes. This forces us to manually go to the Visualization tab every time to limit them to the current timeframe.

🔧 Suggested Solution:

Add a checkbox like:

“✅ Automatically restrict drawing objects to the current chart timeframe”

This feature will save time and streamline the workflow for technical analysts and active traders.

Thank you for your continued improvements to MetaTrader 5!
