Drawing Rectangles in TradingView

In TradingView, you can use the rectangle tool to highlight specific areas on your chart, including Fair Value Gaps (FVG). To do this, select the rectangle tool from the drawing tools menu, click and drag to create a rectangle around the desired FVG zone. You can then adjust the rectangle's size and position as needed.

Extending the Rectangle

Once you have drawn the rectangle, you can extend it across the chart. This is done by clicking on the rectangle and dragging its edges to cover the desired area. This will allow you to visually track when the price returns to that specific FVG zone.

Using Alerts

To enhance your analysis, consider setting alerts in TradingView. You can create alerts for price levels that intersect with your drawn rectangle, notifying you when the price approaches the FVG zone. This can help you make timely decisions based on price action.
