This is supported with the Vertical Line tool:
Chart Drawing Tools: Horizontal Line | Horizontal Ray | Horizonal Line Non-Extended | Vertical Line

You can also use the Chart Values tool to see the Date-Time of the chart bar:
Chart Drawing Tools: Chart Values/Crosshair

You could also manually type the date for a drawing that supports text:
Chart Drawing Tools: Modify Text

Good question, so would it be possible to add the same checkbox for date/time as the vertical line on the horizonal line and extending rectangles?
That would be great stuff!

A date marker is easy when there is only one date, but most tools have several anchor points.


Easy to see why this ticket got left unanswered. It doesn't give a good user story/solution.
Let me try.

What would be nice is if we can add to the Anchors tab on all tools a "show time" option next to each Date/Time anchor.

The show time would then be a drop down with these options:
1. None
2. Top-Left
3. Top-Center
4. Top-Right
5. Center-Left
6. Center-Center
7. Center-Right
8. Bottom-Left
9. Bottom-Center
10. Bottom-Right

Then a second menu (or checkboxes as we have seen in other SierraChart objects) for what to display:
- Date
- Time
- Date and time


This method would work for Forks, Lines, Extended Rectangles, OHLC, Ellipse, etc.

Every tool can have a menu added to the Anchors tab and eventually, we will be able to show the dates and/or times at every anchor point of any object.

Eventually, it would be nice if the text objects could be positioned a bit like the risk/reward tool where we can grab the text and move it left/right/up/down and position it as we wish after it's drawn.
