ABCD pattern
Chart patterns4 points to clickA four-point shape expressing 'CD travels as far as AB'.
What it looks like
The numbered dots are where you click. Once drawn, you can grab those dots and move them.
How to draw it
Click A, B, C and D in order; the length and duration of both legs are annotated.
When to use it
Whether the two legs are similar in length is the whole point — very different lengths mean a different story.
In SQMATE
What you draw stays
Lines you draw are saved to that symbol's notebook. Open the symbol again and they are still there.
Editable afterwards
Grab the points to move them, and change colour, width and line style. Undo works too.
