Help please - How can I draw short lines in MT4?

Hi everyone,

I am in need of some help with basic stuff that I haven't been able to figure out. I would like to draw short lines in my charts to highlight some price levels for example, and DON'T want the lines to go all the way from one end of the chart to another.

How can I draw short lines?

Attached below is a chart I found elsewhere that illustrates what I want to do. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Draw a trendline, then double click it to select it, right click it to get to the properties and set the "Ray" feature to off (it is under the parameters tab). It will remember your settings for all the trendlines from that point on. This will allow you to draw short lines.

Hi linalm

Use the trendline tool to join up the highs/lows you choose, then double click the line so that small squares appear. Next right click the line and open up 'trendline properties' and uncheck the 'ray' box. You can then extend or shorten the line as you wish by putting the pointer on either of the end squares and dragging it or move the line around by putting the pointer on the centre square.

Hope this helps .
