                I draw a lot of Lines on Charts during the course of a day. Additionally I set Alerts for those Lines. However it seems like have to select the same options inside the Alert Box each time..like "Crosses" "Last" "Alert Sound"..etc..etc It would be great if I could right click on a line I just drew, choose Alert and then the box opens with my default choices for the 7 or so options within the box instead of them resetting to a different default all the time.. Is this possible? TIA  |

                Yes you can configure the default Alert Settings with the default tool configuration for a particular drawing tool and configuration number: Chart Drawing Tools: Drawing Tool Configuration Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level  Your definitive source for support.

                I do have an additional question..How do I set it so after utilizing any Tool, like Line, it resets to my default Tool, Hand? Presently I draw a Line and then move on and my next interaction with any chart results in another Line being drawn..causes me to have to take time to delete unnecessary lines. Presently I click on Hand icon in toolbar, which I never remember to do, but even that is an added step.. TIA Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-08-11 13:22:00
