[User Discussion] - Price Retrace Tool

I've always noticed an extra step, that I wonder that can be avoided. I use it real time so it takes vital seconds to convert.

I'm talking about the Price Retrace Tool. I use 1 second bars, so when I Fib say at the beginning of the day, as soon as I page scroll right or more, the Labels are gone. So I have to go into the properties to click labels on "Right".
But that's still a problem once it hits my level and I "Cut" at a certain point. Then when I go back left, but not to the point I applied the tool, I can't see the labels.
I don't know how easy it would be to code this, but it seems it wouldn't be such a big deal, and would add a vital part to the "Price Retrace tool" if this were added.

What if the option to "float" the labels ALWAYS in view (either Left or Right whatever is checked) were added/altered to the tool?
Keeping the Labels in view would make sense bc when I see all my lines of the certain levels, I don't know which is which unless I scroll all the way back or to the end to see what they are.
Hope this can be added in future versions.
Thank You

Have a look at the Options >> Extend Multiplier setting in the Chart Drawing Properties window.

It is documented here:

Thanks, but that's not what I mean. That only extends the line a certain predetermined amount as far as I can see.
Since I don't know when the market is going to hit my levels, the lines have to continue until the price comes to that level. So the "infinite" will have to stay. But it is the Labels that need to be seen on every page.

A good example of what I'm talking about is the Horizontal Line Tool. Every page you turn, rather left or right, the price level Label stays on screen.
Hopefully this helps.
