The Short Position Drawing Tool

The Short Position Drawing Tool is a useful feature that allows traders to visually represent potential short (sell) positions on their charts. This tool helps users assess risk-reward ratios, set target prices, and define stop-loss levels for their trades. By illustrating potential short positions, traders can enhance their decision-making process and improve their overall trading strategy.
