Drawing Trendlines

A trendline is a sloping line drawn between two prominent points on a chart.  To draw a trendline, position the mouse pointer at a starting point on the chart.  Click and hold the left mouse button while moving the mouse pointer to an ending point.  The trendline will stretch as you move the mouse.  Release the left mouse button to anchor the trendline.
Note that if you do anything that causes the chart to redraw (i.e., scroll, zoom, plot an indicator, etc), trendlines will disappear.

See Trendlines
for more information on using trendlines.

You can also use the trendline tool to draw horizontal support and resistance lines.  See Support and Resistance
for more information.
