Is there any Tool configuration for enabling the Hand tool to be engaged with a simple left click & Hold (i.e. a simple drag/pan function)while also having the Crosshair/Chart Values function engaged? As of now, a simple left click while engaged in Crosshair/Chart Values merely removes the extended crosshairs leaving the small "+" crosshair. A click 'n hold doesn't do anything but also remove the extended crosshairs. One doesn't need to hold to move/pan the small crosshair "+" if one needs to use only that. If it were possible to engage the Hand with a click 'n hold of the left button, once releasing the left mouse button from drag/pan, the small "+" would simply reappear and one further click of the left button would bring back the extended crosshairs as it does now. It sure would be a most functional and efficient option if the Hand/drag+ pan capability were integrated, as it would save the rather tedious and monotonous (not to mention carpal tunnel wrist injury inflammation causing)repetition of right click, scroll to "Hand", click on Hand, drag/pan as you need, then re-right click, scroll for Crosshair/Chart Values, left click to return to Chart Values/Crosshairs, only to have to repeat again and again in a few seconds as you try to concentrate on your chart on the references and thoughts that initiated the action in the first place! For those of us who manipulate our charts non-stop on both the X & Y axes by needing to drag and pan, it could be a Godsend. Thank you.

What you need to do is enable Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values >> Always on When Using Other Tools.

Thanks for the above posts, very useful. With the current setup, the crosshair and the Y value remain highlighted by the last mouse position as I scroll off a chart and click another chart to be active. This causes the inactive chart to look cluttered with the extra crosshair and price highlighted, and is confusing with the current price. Is there any way we can get the crosshair/highlighted Y value to remain active using other tools, but only show on the active chart? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-08-11 20:31:18

^SC Engineering, please respond to my question. Is it possible to always keep the crosshair active only on the chart being moused over or active?

No, it is not.

Thank you for responding. If possible, please consider this, it would help avoid confusion in trading with current price due to the extra crosshair/price highlighted on all charts based on last mouse position, which is generally random as the mouse is moved to the next chart.

Hi, I want to use the global crosshair with synched charts, and be able to grab and drag the charts simultaneously, is this possible? |

Hi, I'm having trouble with the global scrolling again. I have global setting/tool settings/chartvalues/alway on when using other tools, Tools/ global cursor on and synchronize charts on, and Chart/show scrollbar unchecked. I was able to drag and scroll globally with the crosshair in this configuration, but it is not working now.. Thanks
