Summary
Key features include fast, click-based line creation without the need for drawing tools, cycling through multiple colors for event or level classification, and deleting synced lines via hotkeys. The indicator uses simple keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + Left-Click to create lines, Ctrl + Left-Click again on the same bar to change line color, and Ctrl + Shift + Left-Click to delete lines (with Mac equivalents using the Command key).
Lines sync only between charts of the same symbol, and repositioning requires deleting and re-placing lines due to platform limitations. The indicator is suitable for multi-timeframe traders, back-testers, educators, and session or news event planners. Users must apply the indicator to all charts they want synchronized. Upcoming features include a clear-all-lines button, saving/reloading markers between sessions, and auto-session timing markers for major market opens.
