VIENNA, November 14, 2026. Exopike has released a chart drawing and annotation layer for its browser trading platform, giving traders access to a suite of technical markup tools directly within the charting environment. The update adds trend lines, horizontal and vertical reference lines, Fibonacci retracement sequences, geometric shapes, and freeform text labels, all of which can be saved as part of named chart templates and recalled in future sessions.
The release responds to a pattern identified in internal chart workspace save logs: traders who added annotation elements to their chart setups returned to those specific saved layouts at a meaningfully higher rate than traders who saved indicator configurations alone. The data pointed to annotation as a retention factor in how traders structured and maintained their analysis workflows across sessions.
“Our chart workspace save logs showed that annotated layouts were being recalled consistently across sessions, while unannotated setups were frequently rebuilt from scratch,” said a spokesperson for Exopike. “That told us the drawing layer was something traders were approximating through other means. The goal was to give them a native set of tools rather than require workarounds.”
Drawing Tools Now Available on the Browser Platform
The annotation layer is accessible from a persistent toolbar within the charting panel. Tools are grouped by category: line tools, Fibonacci tools, shape tools, and text. Line tools include standard trend lines with selectable endpoints, horizontal reference lines that extend across the full chart width, and vertical reference lines for marking date and time positions, such as scheduled event windows or session opens.
Fibonacci tools cover retracement sequences between two anchor points, with configurable visibility for individual ratio levels. Traders can show or suppress intermediate levels, adjust the anchor positions after initial placement, and assign a label to the sequence to distinguish between multiple concurrent drawings on the same instrument. Each Fibonacci drawing is stored as a discrete object that can be repositioned without affecting other annotations on the chart.
Shape tools include rectangle, ellipse, and triangle overlays, each with independent border colour and fill opacity settings. Text labels are freeform, can be placed anywhere on the chart area, and support a small set of size and colour options. All drawn objects respond to zoom and scroll actions, preserving their position relative to price and time coordinates as the visible range changes.
What the Annotation Layer Covers and How It Integrates With Charts
Each drawn object carries a context menu accessible by selecting the object on the canvas. From this menu, traders can edit visual properties, lock the object in place to prevent accidental movement, or remove it individually without clearing other annotations. A bulk hide option temporarily removes all annotations from view without deleting them, useful when a clean chart view is needed briefly and the full layout is required again straight after.
The annotation layer is independent of the indicator panel system. Drawings sit on the main price canvas and do not interfere with oscillator panels below the chart. Indicators and drawings are configured separately, and each component is preserved when the chart template is saved. The layer is also available on all supported timeframes: drawings placed on a daily chart do not carry across to an intraday view of the same instrument, keeping analysis contexts distinct by timeframe.
The drawing toolbar is visible on both desktop and mobile browser sessions. The same tools and saved templates are accessible regardless of which browser or device is used, consistent with the session synchronisation infrastructure already in place.
Saving and Reusing Annotated Chart Layouts
Annotated charts can be saved to the existing named template system alongside indicator configurations, timeframe settings, and chart style preferences. When a template is applied to a new instrument, the indicator and style settings transfer to the new chart; annotation objects do not transfer automatically, as drawing positions are anchored to specific price and time coordinates unique to the instrument being analysed. This keeps saved templates usable across instruments without requiring manual clearing of drawings each time.
Traders can maintain separate templates for separate analytical approaches. A setup used for identifying support and resistance levels on a daily chart can be stored independently from one configured for monitoring shorter intraday moves. Templates are listed in the chart settings panel and can be named, overwritten, or deleted from within that panel. The list of saved templates is synchronised across sessions, so a template saved on one browser is available immediately on another.
“We wanted the drawing tools to feel like a natural part of the workspace, not an add-on,” said a spokesperson for Exopike. “Saving templates that include annotation state, having the toolbar available on any browser without reinstallation, and keeping drawings anchored to their price coordinates on scroll and zoom were the three requirements the feature had to meet before release.”
Traders Who Benefit From the Update
The drawing and annotation layer is available to all traders with an active account on the platform, across all instrument categories offered. There is no account tier requirement and no separate activation step. Traders who open the charting panel will see the drawing toolbar as part of the standard chart interface from the date of this release.
The feature is particularly relevant to traders who use technical price structure as part of their analysis process: those who mark key levels before assessing order placement, traders who track Fibonacci sequences across swing points over multiple sessions, or those who annotate charts with notes ahead of scheduled data releases.
Exopike confirmed that additional annotation tools are under consideration. Traders can submit feedback through the platform support channel.
