Pole Moving with Keys and Mouse

• You may drag and drop either pole. Click and hold anywhere on the chart. The nearer pole will jump to your mouse position.
• The Dashed Pole's position can be fine-tuned with the keyboard right/left arrow keys one-day at a time. The Solid Pole does not respond to the arrow keys.
• Shift+Mouse movement moves the Dashed Pole. OR just click and hold  to drag the nearest pole.
• Shift+Cntrl+Mouse then move the mouse. Dashed Pole movement halts on the red line's lowest adjusted-price in the range over which the mouse moves.
• Ctrl+Mouse movement halts pole movement on the red line's highest adjusted-price in the range over which the mouse moves.

Note: There may be several days that have the same highest/lowest price. The pole jumps when it moves over a price that is equal to the prior highest/lowest price.
