Trend Lines disappear when changing TF

When I add a Trend line to a 30 min chart and change the TF to any other TF the Trend line is Gone.
Do I have a setting in MT4 set wrong? What might be causing this?

In the "visualization" tab, did you selected all timeframes ?

Or maybe you have an indicator on chart that remove all objects ...

It is not in indicator, the problem is with the Trend lines with in mt4 off the mt4 menu, there are no TF's to set.
And I have the same problem on a chart with 0 indicators so it can not be another indicator doing this.

Of course there are TFs to set. Any thing you are applying on chart has a "visualization" tab where you can set the TFs you want to see the tool you are applying.

Is the trend line there if you switch back to the M30 chart?
If you place a trendline on another time-frame does it also disappear or is this just restricted to lines on a M30 chart?

Of course, it is not in an INDICATOR but do you use indicators on that chart is the question?

If yes: remove all indicators , or start with new blank chart; draw a trendline line and check for same behaviour.

If it is still there, this means that one of your indicators is deleting all objects on the chart.

It must be modified to stop that behavior.

So apply each indicator 1 by 1 to find the offending indicator; this is a simple process of elimination.

Generally an indicator should only delete objects drawn by itself.

There are EAs which delete all objects too. Bad coding (if not necessary for the EA functions).

I can't agree more. There are so many tools with this ObjectsDeleteAll() function ...

Very Odd, I stripped all indicators and it did the same thing. They I removed my EA and it is OK. So the EA is causing this. Do you have any ideas how an EA can cause this?

Because it has a ObjectsDeleteAll() function coded in.

I experienced the same issue, found out that it was the TSR indicator causing the trend lines to disappear whenever the TF is changed.

I think Ferru got it:

{quote} Because it has a ObjectsDeleteAll() function coded in.
To avoid trendlines etc. deletion you will have to modify the mql4-file. Search for "ObjectsDeleteAll();" and delete that line or comment it out (by adding '//' to the front).
Or upload the mql4-file here and someone will do it for you ...

I have added the external parameter "DeleteObjectsOnExit". If true it will call "ObjectsDeleteAll()" in the deinit-function, if "FALSE" it will not. pls. try.

Hello,
I do not like the MT5 rectangle drawing tool. I like being able to edit all four corners of the rectangle like in MT4. Only being able to edit two corners is not proficient and makes drawing supply and demand zones a hassle. That’s one of the reasons why I won’t switch to MT5. Does anyone know how we can contact metaquotes to give them feed back to improve there platform? Also, can the community try spreading the word, so that MT5 can improve on this issue.

Thank you,
