Ruler Tool

[Satori2Trade]

Is there a way to set my ruler tool to set the Value Y to Currency forever. Every time I use it, I have to manually change >drawing object > Anchor > Y value display unit. Thanks for any feedback.

Be happy you know that it exists, most folks don't. Lol. It's a handy little tool. Just curious, why do you need to change it from points to dollars? It's an easy mental calculation.

it helps me figure out the price/value of a candlestick. But you are right, I just need to double the price of the value and it will give me a ballpark figure of the currency. I just wish there is a way to make the setting permanent.

Hello Satori2Trade,

Yes, save a template with the name Default that has the Y value display unit set to Currency.

Below is a public link to the help guide on saving drawing object templates.

Thanks for the feedback. These instructions take me to Chart Properties Windows so I can't make changes to the Rule Tool. Please try it from your end to verify my innputs. Thanks agan.

Hello ,

I have just clicked the link I have posted to be sure. This has taken me to the 'Understanding Drawing Object templates' section of the 'Working with Drawing Tools & Objects' page of the help guide.

The link is correct. Please clear your browser history and try clicking the link once more.


To save a drawing object template, click to select, then right-click the object > select Properties > click template > save > save with the name Default.
