GIF overlays

Pin a GIF to a price-time point on the chart as a visual annotation - a reaction marking a level, or a meme flagging a setup. A built-in Giphy search panel finds the clip, and the overlay anchors to the chart so it stays in place. GIFs are saved per symbol and survive reload.

A chart with a GIF overlay pinned next to a key price level

suggested 1280x720

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

A GIF overlay behaves like any other anchored annotation: it is fixed to a price and time, so it tracks the chart as you pan and zoom rather than floating over a fixed screen spot. Drop one wherever a note would help - beside a swing high, on a breakout bar - and it stays tied to that point. Like drawings, overlays are stored per symbol, so each instrument keeps its own set across reloads.
