Keyboard Shortcuts for Speed

Speed matters when you’re trading or analysing multiple charts.
Instead of clicking around the screen every time, you can use keyboard shortcuts to:

• Draw faster
• Switch tools instantly
• Zoom, scroll, and change timeframes quickly
• Toggle indicators or remove clutter in one tap

Let’s explore the most useful shortcuts every trader should know.
