Hi,
when I zoom and switch timeframe from daily to 4H (for example) the trendlines move. So if price is near the trendline on the daily...it's not near the trendline on 4h
take a look at the attached charts

When I was doing 'Mouteki', and drawing TLs by hand I had the same problem.
The only answer is to plot the lines, check the high and lows of the candles you're plotting from and type these into the trendline properties parameter boxes.
You may still have to tidy them up as you go down in TFs but it's something you can't get round as far as I know
