Extended line
Lines2 points to clickA line that runs to both edges of the chart along the slope of two points.
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
Click two places and the line continues at that slope to the left and the right.
When to use it
Because it also runs backwards, you see where it met past bars — which is exactly why you would use it.
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.
