How to Draw a Vertical Line
To draw a vertical line, switch the cursor to vertical line mode. There are two ways to do this:
Method 1
Select "Insert" → "Objects" → "Vertical Line" from the menu.
Method 2
Click the vertical line icon in the toolbar.
Once in vertical line mode, the cursor changes on the chart.
Align the cursor to the desired position and click to draw a vertical line. After drawing, the cursor returns to normal mode.
Double-click the drawn vertical line and drag & drop to move it.
Detailed Settings in the Line Properties Window
Right-click on the selected vertical line and choose "Properties Timeframe Vertical Line Number" from the menu to open the properties window.
You can make detailed adjustments using the three tabs in the properties window ("Common", "Parameters", "Visualization").
"Common" Tab
The "Common" tab allows you to specify the line's name, description, color, thickness, and type.
You can also choose whether to display the line in the background.
"Parameters" Tab
The "Parameters" tab allows you to specify the position of the vertical line by time.
"Visualization" Tab
The "Visualization" tab allows you to specify the timeframes in which the vertical line is displayed. Uncheck "Show on all timeframes" to display the line only on selected timeframes.

To delete a vertical line, right-click on the selected line and choose "Delete" from the displayed menu.
