I keep forgetting how to do this, and it's really useful so I want to post it here where I and y'all can Search for it.

If you want to plot a Stop (canned, OLang, or DLL but not OScript) and test it, by making it appear on the chart based on an arbitrary bar being the "entry" signal, all you have to do is:

Rightclick on Chart > "Add Signal" > (select Long or Short)

It will let you place the entry level on whatever bar you want and will let you resize the signal-triangle too. Once you have placed it on the chart, you can double click on it to select the stop (or combo of stops) that you want to use.

And all you have to do to modify the parameters is to double click on the stop to change the settings.

Yes, the color of the signal-triangle can be changed via Chart Properties > Colors > Long|Short Signal
And, (recent change), the size of that triangle is set via Chart Properties > Trades > Size Multiplier (I use 1.5)

Or, when you insert a signal as per the instructions above, you can manually stretch or shrink the triangle.

The snapshot shows my preferred black-background settings, and I'm attaching my preferred Basic-Black Template.
