Trend line
17 Nov 2015, 15:06


Hello,

I draw short horizontal lines on a regular basis and for doing that I have to use a "trend line" and just pin point it as horizontal, and the issue is that every time I manage to draw it horizontal it shortens for 50% or even more and I have to extend it and pin point it again and that could happen 3 times in a row..very frustrating.

Thank you and kind regards,

Jan

Dear Trader,

We tried to reproduce your issue without success.

Could you please send us a video at troubleshooting@spotware.com showing it? 

In addition, could you please tell us your Brokername and which cTrader platform you are using? ( If it's not shown in the video)

I've had this problem for about 6-8 months, but since creating this thread it seems to gone away - only produced it once since then...will send a video if it returns.

Thank you!

Dear Trader, 

We are still not able to reproduce your issue. However, we keep trying to reproduce it because of the video you send us.

RE:

I see, are you sure you're drawing them as horizontal as you can? I'm experiencing this practically every day multiple times since sending the video.. anyway thank you for not giving up and good luck.

Dear Trader,

You could enable the “Show Angle” feature of the trend line settings, which will help you draw horizontal or vertical lines using the trend line. To enable this feature right click on the trend line and select the “Show Angle” field.

Maybe you can try this:

/algos/indicators/show/1104

and this too:

/algos/indicators/show/1116

I know, thanks - the angle is either 0 or 180.. when trying to replicate my problem:

1. draw them a little above/below 0 or 180 angle, then
2. then expand the trendline (to make it longer) and draw it at a 0 or 180 angle, at that point the trendline should snap back to original length

Hope it helps..

Seriously, is this issue still being worked on? I mean if you can't fixed than just add a little feature where you hold shift and it holds the trendline in fixed horizontal position so you eliminate the hassle of drawing horizontal trendlines.
