Hi ATAS team & fellow traders,
What problem does this solve?
When you draw dozens of lines, boxes, VWAP bands, etc., you spend a lot of time:
opening the Properties window,
choosing colour / width / annotation,
hitting Save as default or cloning an object.
That workflow is slow and error‑prone—especially for discretionary traders who repeat the same four or five markup styles every session.
Proposed solution – “Custom Buttons” row
New row in the chart footer (see screenshot).
Each button stores one drawing tool + its preset attributes (colour, style, text).
Example:
Daily Line→ horizontal line, orange, width 2.H1 Line→ blue, thin, dotted.VWAP High/Low→ two buttons with custom colours and labels.
Single left‑click on the button instantly activates that tool with those attributes—no properties dialog needed.
How it could work
Benefits
Speed – one‑click markup instead of four‑step editing.
Consistency – colours & labels stay identical across charts.
Lower error rate – no accidental mis‑coloured lines.
Competitive parity – TradingView’s “Favorite Tools” and Sierra Chart’s programmable toolbars show there is high demand for this workflow.
I’m happy to share further mock‑ups or join a short call if helpful.
If you’d like to see this feature too, please up‑vote—thanks!
