Ghost/Mirror Image Appearing When Using Risk to Reward Tool

Feature Request

When I move a Risk to Reward tool (displayed in green and red) on the chart, a ghost/mirror image of the tool appears elsewhere on the chart simultaneously. This duplicate rendering persists as I reposition the drawing, creating a confusing and inaccurate visual overlay.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a chart on the Beta platform (beta.forextester.com) in FireFox

  2. Select a drawing tool (e.g., trade/order block tool shown in green and red)

  3. Move or drag the drawing tool across the chart

  4. Observe the ghost/mirror image appearing at a separate location on the chart

Environment Details:

  • Platform: ForexTester Beta (beta.forextester.com)

  • Chart: GBPUSD Daily (1D)

  • Date on chart: Around January 14, 2025

  • Indicators visible: EMA 10, EMA50

  • Browser: FireFoxx (based on UI)

Impact: The ghost image makes it difficult to accurately place trades and analyse chart levels, as the duplicate drawing causes confusion about the actual tool placement.

I have attached a screenshot clearly showing both the original drawing tool and its mirror/ghost image on the chart.

How does this impact your experience?

    We weren’t able to reproduce this issue on our side. Could you please try using the Chrome browser instead and let us know if the ghost/mirror image behavior still occurs there? This will help us narrow down whether it’s specific to Firefox.

      This seems to be a Firefox browser issue but l will definitely notify you if l encounter a similar issue on the Chrome browser

      kindly note that l havent experienced a similar challenge on Chrome. I think the issue might be linked to the Firefox browser

        Hi @Nkosana,

        Thanks for the update.

        For now, we recommend using the FTO on a computer/laptop via the Chrome browser to have the best experience
