How can I get SC to provide an "Up" Auto Trendline when applied to the Swing High Low study? Ultimately, I want to apply the Auto Trendlines to these swings for a cleaner and what I consider a more relevant result. An Up Auto Trendline appears when applied to the Donchian study but has too many iterations for this objective. I'm having the same issue using both the Bill Williams Fractals study and the Zig Zag study where the Auto Trendlines don't always appear but are down only. Applied to an Aligned Renko chart. See attached. Thank you!

From what we see, it looks like you need to increase the Length Input for the Automatic Trendlines study and make it large enough to where you will get the Up Trendline. Looking at the data you have we would not expect to see an Up Trendline until you get back to about 3/4 of the way to the left where the lowest low is.

The 2 attached screenshots show the 10 thru 200 length Auto Trendlines. They are applied to both the Donchian Channel and the High Low Swing. Regardless of the Length, I've yet to get an "Up" Auto Trendline when applied to the High Low Swing study on an Aligned Renko chart. I can when applied to a Donchian Channel.
