I cant figure it out!! deleted all indicators and still it keeps drawing new support resistence levels by adding Trend Lines all over my chart! Its NOT an indi doing this, its MT4 i think, i cannot find info anywhere on net how to make it stop... when i select and rightclick on a trendline
it really tells its the same kind of trendline i could draw manually. Someone has any suggestion how to turn this madness off?
Any clues?
I have to go to objects and delete in a bulk way, that makes it better temporarily atleast..
See image its those in RED

Thanks for any help or suggestion

well you are showing a picture with lots of indis on it and an EA running. even if you think it is not them why don't try taking them all off then see if keeps drawing them. Also have you checked that it is not an EA or indi on another chart?

Am assuming you have all that stuff in your screenshot as part of a template?

Delete objects in a bulk way, as you say.

Then immediately re-save your template... or better yet, save a completely new template.

Thanks for suggestions. Checked the other charts and theres no indis there or Eas that could make those trendlines... Also now i deleted all trendline objects and saved theme and i guess ill have to wait till markets open and see if its fixed!

Thanks for help, hope it works.

Huh? "wait till markets open"?

Haven't you run the templates already? If I'm not wrong, my suggestion is not dependent on market open/close. The lines should (if I suspect these lines were actually stray "objects" left behind) be gone already.

Yes they are deleted so they do not show but as soon as new data comes in to mt4 it starts adding new trendlines however now its closed so have to wait until markets open and se if īt reacts to new data or if ure solution worked

then they must be being generated by an indi or EA somewhere, MT4 wouldn't just randomly add them in the manner that you have described.

is it on all symbols or just one symbol ?

when it creates them are they always in the same time/price or are proper new ones at new times/prices appearing?

Have you tried removing every indicator and every EA from all charts ?

Or better yet close down all charts and start again with 1 fresh chart and see if it still happens.

It won't be random, you just have not found the cause yet

Hi Max thanks for help...

If the EA is off the chart theres still trendlines created automatically.. They are created according to price change whereas the prices tends to behave like a support or resistance then they are added to chart automatically, whatever it is it Thinks theres a support or resistance as soon the price hower around a Point. Its Always according to this.
All other charts works without this problem and has NO trendslines automatically added. I have tried deleting all indicator and thats not helping.
Could it be a script somewhere ? i am Clueless...

I don't think that you are helping yourself.... You are still showing charts with indi and eas on, you won't eliminate the problem that way.

I suggest that you open a new chart for the symbol same timeframe and do not put anything on it. Then delete the current chart and see if the lines appear then


if they do then change the symbol on the chart and see if they appear
