TeleTrader WorkStation provides you with two shape tools to mark significant areas on a chart: The rectangle and the ellipse tool. Both tools show transparent shapes on the chart.

You can change the colors, borders and transparency settings for a shape object: See Customizing Shapes. Shapes are automatically drawn behind other chart objects (in the background of the chart). See also Moving and Copying Drawing Objects.
