Hey, I have been using the snap feature for trendlines and was wondering is there a feature for the trendline to snap to the wick tops? Thanks. I looked and cannot seem to locate the answer to this. I am trying to use this as computer algorithm trading is so pecise it would be helpful to sanp to wicktop if that is available. Thanks so much!

If you are drawing trendlines (i.e. using a Tool) then the ability to snap to the Top/Bottom of a wick is standard. There is the option to include the Open and Close in addition to the High/Low, if maybe that is what you are interested in. Refer to the following setting:
Chart Drawing Tools: Include Open/Close In AutoSnap (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Snapping)

Otherwise, if you are wanting something specific for the Automatic Trendlines study, then you would have to modify the study to have it do what you want. Refer to the following:
