A marker study object is displayed on the chart as a combination of two arrows and some marker text.
The up or down arrow is displayed below or above the marked bar and points either upwards or downwards. You can change the colors and width of the border lines, the fill colors and transparency of the arrow, and its size.
The price arrow is displayed at a certain price level of the marked bar, usually the Close price. You can change its outline and fill color, transparency and size.
The marker text is displayed below or above the up / down arrows. You can change its font and style.
Note When inserting study columns into price pages, only a few color settings are available on the Appearance tab. For details, see Adding, Removing and Customizing Study Columns.
