Hi Ben,

We already have a horizontal line. I am not sure what is the difference with what you propose.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hello, Panagiotis and Dev team,

Can you take another look at this request? We want a specific type of horizontal ray/line that starts at the OHLC price of the trader's discretion. Please look at the following example from Tradingview where this feature is currently active.

Can this be implemented?

 

Best,

Yow 

 

Hi Yow,

You can do this with trendlines. I don't see a reason for a separate object

Best regards,

Hello,

The request for the Horizontal Ray (HR) tool has been made many times. In a week, April 17, 2025, it will be 10 years since the first request. The most extensive discussion can be found in the current thread.

You can do this with trendlines. I don't see a reason for a separate object

I would also like HR to be available in cTrader. I know that you can use a trendline with the shift key and extension to infinity, but this solution does not provide any possibility to place a description associated with such a line.

The possibility of placing a description is one of the greatest advantages of HR, because its description is always visible on the chart regardless of the TF. It is very useful for marking important price levels that are easy to navigate between different TFs - because they are described.

Here is a recording showing how these levels work on another platform:
