How to indentify specific trendline?

Sometimes when I place a trendline on a chart, it jumps out of place a little as I release the mouse button. Is there a way to move this line with the mouse and readjust it?

I've gone through a chart's object list but that is trial and error since older trendlines are listed as well. Clicking a trendline and selecting show doesn't highlight that trendline.

Also, is there a way to create a parallel trendline?

Thanks.

Hi 4thSpace,

This defines the way a trendline acts when initially placed on a chart. Use 'CTRL+O' then click the 'Objects' tab. This is where you can set some preferences for objects.

To move a trendline, double-click it to make it active. The play around with dragging the different squares on the trendline to learn how they work.

To parallel (duplicate) a trendline. Make the trendline you want to duplicate active, by double clicking it. Then while holding 'CTRL' click and drag the trendline.

I assume you're using MT4.

Go to tools, options, objects, and set magnet sensitivity, see if that helps it stay stuck where it belongs. Mine's set to 5, play around with it.

Parallel lines can be done with the equidistant channel command. If you don't have it (has an "E" in the lower right corner) then right click anywhere on the toolbar that has your arrow, trendlines, etc, and select customize. Pick the equidistant channel and hit "insert".
