How to use the Activate Drawing tool preset button purpose
A frequently asked question concerns how to change the brokerage trading account that is used to place trades from the ChartTradingDOM or the ChartMiniTrader in the chart. Most brokerage clients have a single trading account associated with the broker login credentials, but others sometimes have multiple trading accounts. Further, some clients may at times wish to do simulated trading using the Investor/RT trading simulator account, named Simulated, and then want a way to easily switch to a live trading account quickly.
The Chart Button Indicator has been enhanced with three new button types in RT 14. Further, the button right-click menu has been enhanced to facilitate the arrangement and positioning of chart buttons using the keyboard.
Chart Buttons enable you to add push buttons or menu buttons to any chart window to perform a variety of actions as shown in the image below. Buttons can be added to any pane of any chart just as you would add any indicator. If you have a series of button indicators that you wish to appear in every chart, set the scope of the button to "All Charts, Any Instrument" at the bottom of the Button Preferences window. From that point forward, any chart you open or create in the future will have the these ticker and periodicity buttons.
