Suggest for Sticky Global Cursor

[jamesaq]

I've been reviewing the global crosshair cursor options on two charts (10 min) and (1min) and it is too frenetic in that when you move your mouse off of the 10 minute chart to move a scroll-bar or something it causes the cursor to move radically on the 1 min chart.

Here is the suggestion, add a vertical line crosshair cursor type that is sticky. When you click on the 10 minute chart the same vertical line will appear on the 1 minute chart.

This way you can click and then move the mouse to the other chart without having the cursor line move. We need this so we can view the cursor on multiple time frame charts (i.e. enter on the 1 minute and monitor the trade on the 10 minute and check possible targets on the 30 minute charts).

I know the vertical drawing tool allows "all charts" in the properties, but a sticky cursor option would be quicker and more accessable. The vertical line crosshair should still go through all the indicators to relate indicator to price, which the vertical line drawing tool won't do.

Sorry if this is more of a feature request than a bug report, but the the current non-sticky global cursor really doesn't work optimally for the reasons I described. More cursor options would let you pick all suitable modes. For demonstration purposes and live trading the click and stick would make it less hoppy.

Thanks.

Hello jamesaq,

Thank you for your feedback.

I will forward this on to my development team for further consideration.

Thank you Kyle for forwarding it for consideration. I appreciate that and your whole team.

I just want to add that a sticky cursor would still be movable, ideally with the arrow keys in that mode, because it is a cursor.

Left and right arrow keys could step the vertical line forward and backward bar by bar. Up and down arrow keys could move a horizontal crosshair line up and down tic by tic if drawn.
