Description

MC has loads of great charting tools (which unfortunately I don't utilize enough, or have no need for) - there is one however that I would use all the time but it's missing. That is the RULER which provides percentage difference or just to measure the number of bars or days between two points.

It's a great tool feature that is well implemented in TradingView (which you no doubt know all about :) ). I think it would be a cracker of a feature, well used etc. and a benefit to all MC users.

There is one other draw(able) object that I miss and that is the re-sizable ARROW. It is kind of there in the form of an MC 'trendline'. Just need to update that same object with an arrow head. I suggest it doesn't need any properties - as in accessing from signals like trendlines. Just make it a simple chart placeable object.
cheers
Dean

I should have mentioned that I currently use the MC Rectangle object to get information between two points but it's clunky and the information box is information overload. However that is providing me with some info between bars but no percentage

Hello Dean,

Thanks for your great suggestions. Our team is working on implementing a similar measuring tool in the near future. This feature is currently planned for MultiCharts 15.
