    Chart Snap Mode

    A little feedback on charting Snap Mode:

    Bar: This works as I would expect, snapping a drawing object to the point on the chart background that lines up vertically with the nearest bar. Also I can draw to the right of the last price bar.

    Price: Though this snaps a drawing object to the point on the chart background that lines up horizontally with the nearest price, there are two problems. Firstly, the anchor points of some drawing objects (F2, F3, F8 & F9 for example) will not snap to all prices. They appear to only snap to OHLC price levels that are on the chart. So if the price action is at new highs or lows, then with wider bars, there will be less snap points available. Secondly, related to this, some drawing objects (same examples) cannot be placed above new highs or below lows. I would have expected any point on the price 'grid' to be available, irrespective of whether the price action had actually been there.

    Bar and Price: Here I would expect to snap to the nearest point on the combined bar and price 'grid'. But this will only snap to the actual price bars (only OHLC points) or indicators such as MAs or Swing. Maybe this is your intention. If so, a 'Bar and Price Grid' option would be appreciated.

    tgilligan, thanks again for the feedback!

    On the price mode, it will use OHLC values / indicator values as available snap prices.

    Bar and price would combine OHLC / indicator points for snapping with the bar interval values (x and y axis snapping)

      Hi Bertrand,

      So all is as you intend. For me, snapping to the Bar and Price 'grid', irrespective of OHLC values would be more useful. For now I shall just use Bar mode, since that gets me half way there, and be as accurate as I can with my price level.

      Thanks, Tim
