  1. 01

    Cross

    The default pointer, with a crosshair that reads price and time off both axes.

    Move over the chart to read a bar; click a drawing to select it.

  2. 02

    Dot

    The crosshair without its lines, for reading a busy chart without covering it.

    Behaves exactly like the cross, and hides the two guide lines.

    Dot on GainzAlgo
  3. 03

    Arrow

    A plain arrow pointer with no crosshair and no axis readout at all.

    Use it to select and move drawings; the legend holds the last closed bar.

    Arrow on GainzAlgo
  4. 04

    Eraser

    Deletes whatever you click, so several drawings can go without reselecting.

    Click each drawing you want gone; press Escape to return to the cross.
