Trend line
Lines2 points to clickThe most basic line: connect two places to mark the direction of a run.
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 the two places you want joined and the line is drawn between them. Rising runs are usually drawn low to low, falling runs high to high.
When to use it
It can be extended either way in settings — remember which part price actually touched and which part is only projection.
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.
