I find it difficult to click on a specific object when multiple of them are either - Scenario #1: Close together - Scenario #2: Stacked on top of each other. Eg: A key example here is order lines bein on top of risk-reward tool/some ray,horizontal line How do I specifically select an object when these scenarios happen? On a side note:I realized that multiple numbers pop up along/on the object when they are close together and you click them, what are they exactly? (I have attached an image for this) |

Refer to the following. The section is specific to "Move Drawing", but the general principle applies. There are sections that state the same thing for each of the modification processes, if you want to look at that individually.

Thank you, the numbers do the trick for drawings but how about when close/on top of order lines? Eg: Risk-Reward on top of order lines makes it challenging to move the risk-reward without moving order lines Here's a picture for clarity |

You would need to select the drawing somewhere away from the order line. You can right-click and select the particular action you want (Move or Adjust) such that it is not imperative that you are selecting the drawing exactly where you need to get the particular action.

Yup, I have been doing that but just yesterday I found that enabling these 2 options in tandem lets me have lesser clicks and thus lesser issues: For others reading, you can try: 1. Enable Chart Drawing Tools: Support Left Click to Select Chart Drawings (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options) 2. Enable Chart Drawing Tools: Support Drag For Chart Drawing Creation/Modification (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options) This lets me drag around so I don't have to struggle with click + click to move/adjust. Rather, I just click+drag. |
