Normally, after drawing a trendline on a chart, the mouse cursorchanges back to selection mode (where you can drag the chart and selectitems).

But sometimes you will want to draw multiple trendlines. Constantlygoing back to select the line tool again can slow you down - soBullCharts has two time saving shortcuts built in.

Quick Repeat with the CTRL key
If you hold down the CTRL key when you are inselect mode (normal mouse arrow) then you can repeat the last used linestudy tool.
Steps:
  1. Select the trendline tool as per normal. Notice that the mousecursor has a small blue line next to it, indicating that you're aboutto draw a trendline.
  2. Draw your first trendline. Once it's drawn, the mouse cursor changes back to the plain arrow.
  3. Hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard. The mouse cursor will change back to the trendline cursor again.
  4. With the CTRL key still held, draw another trendline.
  5. You can do this as many times as you like.
This trick will work for any line study, though I find it is particularly useful for: trendlines, rulers, and time analysis pegs

Lock Repeat
Click on the repeat icon to draw lots of trendlines. When it is turned on, the mouse cursor willnot go back to select mode after drawing each line. That is, you canjust keep drawing them.

Remember to turn it off again when you're finished. I find that this is best used only when a large number of an item isbeing drawn - and that the CTRL shortcut is better for other situations.
