We will guide you on how to use this crosshair function.
Switching to Crosshair Mode
Click the crosshair icon in the toolbar to switch the cursor to crosshair mode.

How to Use the Crosshair
Displaying Price and Time at Cursor Position
When you move the cursor in crosshair mode on the chart, the price and time at the cursor's position are displayed on the scale part.
This is valuable when analyzing past price movements to verify durations and price levels.
Measuring the Number of Candlesticks and Points
While in crosshair mode, clicking and dragging on the chart will display the number of candlesticks, the point values, and the ending price from the starting point to the endpoint of the drag.
This function is handy for verifying durations and price ranges.
