Cursor type
Click Cursor type and choose one of four styles: Arrow, Dot, Arrow with Markers or Crosshairs. The choice is saved with the chart.
If you switch on crosshair sync in your workspace, the pointer position also shows on your other charts. See Sync time and price across charts. To act on the price under the pointer, see Crosshair quick actions.
Zoom
Click Zoom and choose a mode:
- Zoom Date Range zooms the chart to a date range.
- Zoom Rect zooms to a rectangle that you mark on the chart.
You can also use the buttons at the bottom of the chart: Zoom out and Zoom in. They appear when you move the pointer to the bottom of the chart.
Zoom and move the price
- Drag the price scale to move the price range up or down.
- Hold Shift and drag to zoom the price.
- Double-click the price scale to reset it.
Right-click the price scale to switch between fitting the visible bars and a fixed height per tick. See Value Scale in Chart settings.
Scroll through history
The navigation buttons at the bottom of the chart move you through the loaded bars:
- Scroll to first and Scroll to last jump to the oldest and newest bar.
- Scroll left and Scroll right move step by step.
- The reload button reloads the chart data.
When the newest bar is out of view, Return to live appears. Click it to go back to the live edge.
Read a bar with a long press
Press and hold the left mouse button on an empty part of the chart, and keep the pointer still. After a moment a box shows Open, High, Low, Close and Vol for the bar under the crosshair. Release to close it. The box does not open while you drag, draw or press on an order or button.
Make a snapshot
- Click Make snapshot (the camera icon).
- Your browser or the desktop app saves a PNG file.
The image shows the chart as it looks on screen, with a header that has the Tradrr logo and a line such as "Created with tradrr.com, Nov 2, 2026 9:30 ET". The file name is the symbol, the interval and the time you saved it, for example ES_3m_2026-11-02_09-30-15.png.
Tip. In a narrow chart window, Zoom, Cursor and Make snapshot are in the More chart tools menu.
