| · | by selecting Always On Top (Options: General) you can keep the overlay on top of your charting program even while you are working with the charting program
|
| · | the Hot Key (Options: Hot Key) allows you to temporarily Hide and then Restore ChartOverlay; this is useful when you have it Always On Top but want it out of the way for awhile; by default the Hot Key is (ctrl-alt-F) but you can change it in the Options dialog
|
| · | if you have drawn a Fibonacci Retracement and it is now selected, the title bar will display the current cursor position as a (time, price) Retracement or Extension of the movement represented by the selected object (where <-1, -1> is the beginning and <0, 0> is the end of the move); in other words, for any point on your chart, you can immediately see how much of a Retracement or Extension it would be simply by pointing at it
|
| · | you can hide the text on the toolbar (Options: Toolbar) to make it smaller
|
| · | you can hide the toolbar (Options: Toolbar) altogether and use the menu instead

|
| · | if you accidentally erase everything, you can undo it
|
| · | both logarithmic and arithmetic scaling are available; logarithmic requires that you enter price information

|
| · | after you've drawn an object, you can still change its properties
|
| · | you can change the shape of the objects you have drawn
|
| · | you can change the position of the objects you have drawn (individually or as a group)
|
| · | you can specify individually the color(s) of the objects you draw or you can have colors you choose assigned automatically (Options: Colors)
|
| · | in some cases (eg, Action/Reaction Lines, Andrews' Pitchforks), you can move some of the secondary lines that are drawn; this allows additional fine-tuning of what you have drawn
