I've been receiving a lot of messages as I'm doing my weekly forecast videos and my daily analysis and trading opportunities. I'm drawing on my MT4 and I keep receiving, well, myself and my team, how do I draw on the MetaTrader?

So I will start with the fantastic news: this indicator is available as for now, as I record this video, in both variations, paid and free. The free one Uh, and is also included in the same link as the page. You can find that below this video in the description. Just go to the description below the video and you will find their virtual trading pen. Follow the link, download it, and install it. Okay, uh, so what is it all about and how to use it? So this is This indicator was created by my team to answer on a very needed, very required, very much required, um, solution— multi-timeframe analysis. I am— I love to analyze, to mark my levels, trend lines, horizontal supply-demand zones, swing highs, lows, cycles, and so on and so on. And I love to mark my levels, you know, when I go to the multi-timeframe with the built-in in the MT4, there are different limitations, uh, and lines quickly are erased. I could not save images in a very easy comfort, uh, and basically I wanted to create an amazing solution for a very much needed, um, a problem, I would say. So this is how I draw, okay? So I installed that, it's Virtual Trading Pen. And here is what we have here. Let me just show it to you. So this is still the older test version, the one that I have. The one that you download, of course, it's not the test, it's official version. So once you install that, these are the inputs you would see. You can find easily which corner would you like to place it. On the right or left, top or bottom corners. And of course, the position— you want it vertical or horizontal. So it's really up to you to decide how do you prefer that and how do— would you like to, to use that. Now, this X minimize and maximize, open the toolbox. This is a, the button that allows me to use the mouse cursor. This is a free pen. As you can see, I can draw whatever I want, whenever, whatever the way I want. These are straight lines, that's arrows, these squares, okay, or rectangles. You can see you want, uh, you can do it the way you want it. Of course, circles, very important when you want to mark specific levels. And here comes the next, uh, important feature. So I want to include also a text. So let's say text, I put it here. And also I want to put some text here. Let's say I want to say this is a 4-hour chart analysis, so I go and put 4-hour chart. Okay. Uh, now if I want to go back to cursor, I just click that. Now here I— sorry, no, before. This is undo. Very, very simple. I could just click that and undo, uh, the last, uh, um, steps. This is a bin. So as many trash bin— call it whatever you want— as many lines or whatever you have there Simple. Boom, it's gone. Now the good part we did here is you can undo the bin also and just click that. Bam, you got your lines again. So the next one is the colors, which is very usable to work with a multi-timeframe, and I'll show in a second. This is the width of the line, so this would be the— as you can see, thickest and Where is it? Here. So thinnest and thickest lines. Okay, um, and here is the very important thing. So this means whatever I draw, I can work on multi-timeframe. So let's say I analyze it this way. Okay, whatever I analyze, okay, and I mark some levels. So I have a level here a level here. Okay, it doesn't matter currently what's the reasons, but here are the levels. I can of course put some text next to it. Okay, whatever it's in my comfort. Now this one is, as it's clicked, it allows me to do multi-timeframe. So if I go to the 1-hour chart, I'll see the same lines here that I see from the 4-hour. I— if I go to the daily, it allows me to do— see the same. I'll go 15 minutes, I'll still see all the lines from the 4-hour. With this, it's super easy to make a preparation for a trade. Mark the levels, mark the lines, mark exactly what you want to happen and follow in your plan. And the best part, I can save all that by clicking this disk. See that? It, it saves the image directly in the MQL files virtual pen folder. Okay, you can access it. Bam! You have your image saved and ready to be used. As simple as that. Of course, scissors— you can just find whatever the object you have and cut the unneeded ones if you don't want a bin. Straightforward, simple, absolutely user-friendly, and from my point of view, much-needed solution to those traders who are looking to work and not to waste time on the MT4 every single time. Go click the lines and then the lines disappear. What— which line to erase, etc., etc. So we created this very user-friendly solution, a virtual trading pen, and you are very welcome to go and to download it with the link below this video in the description.
