Shapes and notes
Rectangles, triangles and ellipses
Shapes for highlighting areas of the chart: a trading range, a supply or demand zone, or a pattern.
L’idée en termes simples
Levels are often zones rather than exact prices. A rectangle marks a range or a zone; a triangle can outline a converging pattern; an ellipse draws attention to an area.
Mode de calcul
Rectangle and ellipse: click two corners. Triangle: three points. Toggle Fill in the settings.
Comment l’utiliser
- Mark a range: buy near its floor, sell near its ceiling, or wait for a breakout.
- Mark zones where big moves started (supply and demand).
Tirer des conclusions
- Price leaving a rectangle with a strong candle is a breakout signal.
Exemple
A rectangle from 1.0750 to 1.0850 frames three weeks of sideways EURUSD trading.
Les prix des exemples sont donnés à titre d’illustration.
Points de vigilance
- Keep the chart readable: too many shapes hide the price.
