Hi Ben,

Trend lines are for this purpose. Why do you say that it is hard to draw precicely enough?

The thing is that the trendline tool can be drawn every direction. I am trying to draw a short, horizontal line from a high or low to predict future resistance/support. When I draw the trendline I'm usually drawing it slightly upwards or downwards even though I try to draw it 100% horizontal. I would just like a simple line that I can draw perfectly horizontal, without it having to clutter all other major support- and resistance levels. 

Is there a feature that I'm not finding myself, perhaps?

Hi Ben,

There is no other feature at the moment.You can try double clicking on the Trend Line and choose Show Angle. This feature will help you drawing a straight line.

Yeah. Not having this feature is super annoying.  A shift hold when drawing to make it lock to fixed angles say 45° increments would be perfect.

I can't draw straight trendlines in cTrader due to shaky hands. So I have to resort to any other platform, since all platforms support this feature, but not ctrader

Hi sir, i've had the same problem. What I do is draw up a rectangle with the width of a line, works perfectly, it is even by default and perfectly horizontal.
