Pen
As many points as you likeA freehand pen.
What it looks like
The numbered dots are where you click. Once drawn, you can grab those dots and move them.
How to draw it
Drag across the chart and the path you trace becomes the line.
When to use it
For a straight line use the trend line — a freehand stroke is hard to adjust later.
In SQMATE
What you draw stays
Lines you draw are saved to that symbol's notebook. Open the symbol again and they are still there.
Editable afterwards
Grab the points to move them, and change colour, width and line style. Undo works too.
Shares as drawn
Send the chart as a single link. Whoever opens it sees the same lines.

Drawing tools are a way to organise your thinking. A line you draw does not decide what price will do.
