Hi,

What do you mean by referencing them?

You have access to all chart objects and the events like object added/removed/updated.

If you want to draw trend line on chart you can do it with Char.DrawTrendLine method.

Here are some examples:

cAlgo API Reference - Chart Interface (ctrader.com)

cAlgo API Reference - ChartArea Interface (ctrader.com)

cAlgo API Reference - ChartTrendLine Interface (ctrader.com)

Hi amusleh!

Sorry, i realise now i could've been clearer in what i meant!

Let's say I want to manually draw a horizontal line on GBPCHF chart at 1.2265. 

By default, my manually drawn horizontal line is called "Horizontal Line 1", and each subsequent line is "Horizontal Line +1". 

Am i able using Calgo, to identify "Horizontal Line 1", and if so, can then obtain the price or X Value of it?

Hope that clarfies!

Hi,

Yes, you can.

Use chart object comments for objects identification.

Check my previous post links, there you can find examples.
