Hey Team. I´m having trouble with my tool configuration. In the Screenshot you can see, that i have to rectangles. Both of them anchored at the same point but the lower one just randomly picks a different anchor point. Hope i can bring the problem across. Best Tony

How did you define the rectangles (how were they drawn)? Did you change the anchor values? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Hey John. I did not change anything. It´ll just automatically anchor the tool at a totally different point,

How are you drawing the rectangles? Why are you expecting them to have the same anchor points? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Are you using different tool configurations for each of these rectangles when you draw them? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

You must have the option for "Use Start Time" set to "Yes" along with a specific "Start Time" set in the configuration for the rectangle that is jumping. Refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Rectangle \| Extending Rectangle \| Ellipse \| Triangle Configuration For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

So in order for the rectangle to start where i have my cursor, that option needs to be set to "No", correct?

And one more question. I can´t set the outline of the rectangle to 0. How would i make the outline disappear?

I can´t set the outline of the rectangle to 0. How would i make the outline disappear? There is no support for setting the outline to a zero width, or for removing it in general. The closest you can get to this would be to set the outline color to be the same as the background of your chart. And you can hide the entire rectangle drawing.
