In a Chartbook containing multiple Charts one Chart will not allow me to change the color of the Price Retracement Level lines. All of the other Charts in the Chartbook do allow the color to be changed. All Charts in the Chartbook use the same common Price Retracement Configuration.

Please advise me as to the fix for this issue.

How are you trying to change the colors for the retracement lines? We need the specific information of what method you are using (there are several options for changing colors, so we need to know which one you are trying).

Also, is the retracement drawing for which you are having an issue a copied drawing, or was it drawn on the chart for which you are having the issue?

With my cursor set to "Chart Values/Crosshair" I select a single Price Retracement Level line, press the Right mouse button, hover Color in the resulting Menu window, and select a color in the resulting drop down menu.

The retracement drawing for which I am having an issue was drawn on the chart.

We found that there are a couple of Time Projection drawings that must just be single dots on the chart. These are causing the problem for changing the color in the Price Retracement.

Go to Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings Window and look for the 2 Time Projection drawings. Delete them from the chart and you should be fine after that.

We do not know why or how these came to be or why they are interacting with the Price Retracement as they are.
