Platform Features Release: Annotation Enhancements, Condor Trade Set Up
Announcing the latest Release of Annotation improvements and Strategy template adjustment. We’ve also made several practical changes for better access to features/functions.
Independent Default Settings for Annotations
When adding Annotations such as lines, rays, arrows, etc, to the chart, the settings for that type of annotation can be set as a “Default”. Line settings are independent of other annotations’ settings.
Add the Annotation.
Click on the annotation to display the Dialog box (shown).
Make any adjustments.
Click “Save as Default”
The newly added and future annotations of the same type will have the new settings.
Click “Reset” to revert to original settings.
Fibonacci Too!
The Fibonacci Annotation has been enhanced to allow you to select which Retracement Levels you want to view in addition to adjusting the color for each as well as transparency overall.
The settings can be set as the Default for new chart entries.
**Please note: Existing Fibonacci annotations cannot be edited with this new coding. They must be deleted, then added back.
Condor Strategy Template Adjustment
The core functionality of Condor Strategy Templates has been adjusted. (Iron/Long/Short)
The center strikes are now anchored by default and will only change if you adjust them manually on the template itself or by using the “Widen Strike” icon —making trade construction more intuitive and consistent.
Widening/Narrowing of the center Strikes will change the spread of the Condor, which can be done manually on the template or by using the “Widen” or “Narrow Spread” icon.
