Episode notes
Use New Annotation Tools For Clear Analysis
- Use the rebuilt annotation tool to draw trendlines, channels, Elliott waves, and measure moves precisely.
- Undock the markup panel to keep drawing tools handy while you analyze.
Use Desktop Beta First — Mobile Lags
- Expect desktop-first feature rollout; mobile apps will lag and may not get full tool parity soon.
- Prioritize learning the desktop beta before relying on the mobile app for advanced analysis.
Set Trendline Alerts And Report Bugs
- Use trendline alerts by drawing lines on charts and setting alerts to get notified when a price touches.
- If alerts misbehave, clear cache or report the bug via the feedback tool.
