When I dray trend lines on an angle using the line tool the lines do not stay where I've drawn them. They tend to move with new bars and no longer reflect where they were originally.

Working in the same time-frame, the best method I have found is to go to the Tools menu and check Auto Snap on Creation, then draw the line from the first point to the second point (not through the second point), then right click on the line, click chart drawing properties, and check the box to extend the line. In this manner the line will stay anchored to the first two points and will shift only minimally in the future as the scale changes. If you draw through the second point to another bar or some point in the future, the line will shift more. If you don't want to have to check the extension box every time you could also use the ray tool, but I personally don't care for the lines extending to the left, since this creates confusion when stepping through historical charts. It would be nice if the config for the line and ray tools included left and right extension boxes. Currently you can only set the mark. |

I will try the suggested approach - thanks Vegasfoster. I hope it works. However , in spite of the explanation offered by support I do think this is a SC problem. Other charting packages have resolved the problem so ......????? |

We do not see how what is said in post #4 would make any difference. Also a Ray will always extend to the right if the second point is to the right of the left point. We also do not know what your specific issue is.

Our specific issue is TREND LINES moves after being positioned - AND THEY SHOULD NOT. If SC cannot for some reason achieve this reality then so be it BUT it is not because it cannot be done - it may simply be something about the way SC is designed and coded that prevents this.

This does not provide enough details for us to answer this. And we explain all the reasons this can occur here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails34.html To say a trend line should never move after you draw it, is not correct. You cannot always expect that. In general, they will not move, but there are exceptions to this. There are certain technical reasons why that could happen. That help topic goes into all of those details. The fact is depending upon the particular circumstances, a line can move. We do not want to argue about this. We do not agree with your conclusions. We know what we are talking about here. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

OK - but how do you think other chart packages manage to sort this out? Is it just a SC thing ?

There is insufficient information for us to answer this question. We do not know precisely what you are doing, and what is causing the particular problem. We also do not know what you are doing with another chart package and if you are actually doing the very same thing and if all of the conditions are the same. Probably not. The way in which Sierra Chart maps chart drawings to charts, is done properly. There is no other practical way it can be done. The help topic goes into a lot of detail on this entire subject. So I guess the best question is, when you see a chart drawing move, take the time to understand why it is moving based upon the information given in the help topic and then explain to us in detail as to why it should not move. We will need a before and after chart image showing the chart drawing, and then we can answer that. If there was a solution to this, we would implement it. Depending upon the particular problem a potential solution would either be an impossibility, an imprecise solution, or it is just simply very impractical and it would only be an attempt to patch a problem which has a cause which is under the user's control to begin with.
