mlsignups Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 In some other charting systems there is a way to see how much a price has changed over a period of time by clicking on the price/start date (maybe along with a hotkey like shift or ctrl) and then dragging the mouse to another location - in that case the # of days and the change in price (up 18%, down 20% over the period) shows up in a bubble or box. Is there a way to do that in the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 try drawing a trendline from the start to end date. You will see various statistics including the stuff you mentioned on the X and Y axis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsignups Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks. that works! I'm frequently looking for this info and my trendlines are set for extend right so it's not perfect because it's not that efficient but it does get me what i want. Would be great if in some release if we could do this using a keyboard / mouse combo instead. Tradingview does this really nicely with a Shift click; it shows you the difference and also creates a semi transparent box in the process. Thanks again.

Jerry Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 SHIFT click/drag is used for horizontal line in MT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsignups Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yes; just suggesting maybe there was some combo that could make assessing price change over a period of time easier; does not need to be shift drag.
