Customization

​
Colors

The default annotation color is EdgeBook’s signature lime green (#a7d400). You can change colors for individual annotations:
  1. Select an annotation
  2. Click the color picker
  3. Choose your color
Use consistent colors for different types of annotations. For example, green for entries and red for exits.

​
Line Width

Adjust the thickness of lines and shapes:
  • Thin lines for precise levels
  • Thick lines for emphasis

​
Text Size

Resize text annotations for visibility:
  • Small for detailed labels
  • Large for important callouts

​
Non-Destructive Editing

EdgeBook preserves your original images:
  • Annotations are saved as a separate layer
  • You can edit or remove annotations anytime
  • The original image quality is never affected

​
Saving Annotations

Click Save when you’re done annotating. The annotated version becomes the displayed image, while the original is preserved for future editing.

​
Best Practices

Don’t over-annotate. Mark only the most important elements - entry, exit, key levels, and pattern boundaries.
Develop a personal system: same colors for same meanings, consistent line widths, standardized label formats.
Adding annotations after the trade helps you objectively mark what actually happened, not what you hoped would happen.
When including multiple timeframe charts, add a text label showing the timeframe (e.g., “Daily”, “1H”, “5M”).
