Arrow Drawing Tool: MT4 Visual Annotations for Faster, Clearer Decisions

This review of Arrow Drawing Tool in 2026 focuses on performance and analysis of a utility that improves visual workflow on MT4. Arrow Drawing Tool is a specialized indicator developed by Mikhail Ostashov that provides a fast way to draw directional arrows on price charts using a dedicated "Стрелка" button and mouse clicks. In this review we evaluate responsiveness, customization, and suitability for different trader routines, and we reference the community rating of 4.5/5 across 100 reviews to support findings. Arrow Drawing Tool is unique because it combines rapid manual annotation with automated color logic: green arrows for upward movement and red arrows for downward movement. The underlying mechanism listens for user clicks in drawing mode, applies user-configured length and angle settings, and renders vector-style arrows that remain clear at multiple zoom levels. It does not execute orders; instead it enhances decision-making by visually marking trade ideas and key price zones. The tool handles trending markets well when traders need to mark breakouts or pullback entries, and it is equally helpful in range-bound markets for labeling rejection points and swing pivots. Risk management is user-driven; Arrow Drawing Tool supports consistent planning by enabling faster identification of stop levels and targets. Expected performance characteristics include minimal CPU load, near-instant drawing response (milliseconds in typical setups), and stable behavior across major currency pairs, commodities, and indices in MT4.
