Draw Lines

[brewski1984]

Hi,

just wondered if somebody would be able to help me please.

Is there an easy way to draw lines on MT4 other than randomly putting the line nowhere near where you're trying to get it then going into the objects list and changing the value?

If there is, I won't ask my next question!

Many thanks,

Brew.

What happens when you click near the high/low you want it to touch? Also, you know you can drag the handles, right? Basic, standard Windows stuff.

I've just drawn a horizontal line on one of the charts and the only way I've found that I can change it is to either right click it to enter a new value or go in to objects list and do the same. Where are the handles to drag? I wanted to find an easier way to draw a few lines on a chart without having to just randomly draw them on then adjust their values in the objects list one by one. Am I being stupid and is this a sign that I'm getting old and technology is progressing faster than me?

After you draw the line, double click on it and 3 "squares" will appear (1 at each end and 1 in the middle) as shown in the pic. Click and hold down the mouse on one of the squares to drag it where you want it.
