Hi, the drawing tools on SC are lacking in a basic Gann square tool.
The Gann grid just does't cut it.

Can you please add a Gann square tool with toggles for the other angles such as the 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 lines.

I dream of being able to just simple put up a square with a couple of mouse clicks (please see attached screenshot) on the chart instead of having to waste time drawings angles and measuring just to get the same effect.

you have a great program, please include this tool which is available on other platforms.

also, the option to include a back grid dividing the square into 1/8 increments would be great - also as in the screenshots

And if you are kind enough to implement this request, I would like to ask you please to allow the anchor points which are available when you right click a drawing to allow the tool width to be based in number of bars.

For example, lets say you want to draw a square of 90 on a daily chart from the 3rd of november. It is a lot easier to say draw 90 bars from the 3rd of November rather than going to a calendar and finding the date that 90 days would land on

same for intraday. say you are squaring a range of 20 points on soybean. you want to specify the width as 20 bars instead of calculating times for 20 hours into the future etc.

thanks

Was a Gann Square created???

I'm trying to draw a set of Gann Angles but cant move my hourly chart more than 5 days into the future making my task impossible. Even when I change the date range in chart settings nothing happens.

SC empty space on the right is limited to 152 bars in the future. if you have a forecast and need to see further, then you will need to go to higher TF
alternatively, they could increase it to say 300 bars

Having to plot angles on a daily chart that need to be finely tuned for intraday charts is a real limitation. Thanks for letting me know.
