Problem: S&R/Trend-lines appear in other pairs

Hi
I have a problem with MT4. My trend-lines and S&R lines appear in different pairs at the same time at some very weird places.
Example: if I draw a trendline at USD/JPY pair it will appear also in AUD/JPY or any other pair which has USD or JPY in it. The line appears at some weird place and messes up all my charts. What can I do about it ?
I'm attaching monthly Eur/Usd chart with trend-lines from other pairs which has EUR or USD in it. What a mess..

are they manually drawn or from an indicator ?

edit : my bad, manually drawn apparently. I think you have to reinstall your MT4

Yeah, manually of course.
Reinstalled it several times. I have this problem for a long time already and I think its very deep cause
I have the same problem with other MT4 brokers (demo).

Seems like you have saved a template with trendlines on it. So if you load a template, those TL will appear again and look like mess. Try and make a new template.

I think You should re-install Your MT4. Also, before that, I think the problem might be because of templetes. For example, if You draw a vertical line on usdjpy, then save templete, and then load templete on gbpusd...that vertical line will be there. Just a thought. Other than that..there is a problem in mt4 that should be fixed.
Cheers....

It may sound VERY weird but I have this problem on every computer with two different MT4 brokers... checked it on three computers with different demo-accounts. Maybe u also have it but dont pay attention to it? Just try to draw a few trend-lines on certain pair in 1h or 4h timeframes for instance and then check all other pairs in the list with monthly timeframe.. u'll see your drawings in certain pairs in all kinds of akward places.
I guess its MT4 bug.. dont have other explanation for that.

has to be an inssue on your end. I just tested mine without issue.

Are you saying that you can have both the eurjpy and the usdjpy open at the same time and when you put a trendline on eurjpy it will show up on usdjpy as well??

Now I see that it can appear on any pair.. for example if I draw the line on Aud/Nzd it can appear on Eur/Usd or something like that.

you still haven't answered my question. Are both the charts open simultaneously or do you have one open and you get to the second by dragging the next pair onto the open chart?

That is weird.

Did you do a complete uninstall before you reinstalled MT4? By that I mean did you thoroughly clean your registry of all MT4 references before you reinstalled? If you've never edited your registry before, research on how to do it safely. If you screw this up your MT4 problems will be the least of your worries.

Also have you done a thorough virus/trojan/rootkit scan lately? And a disk defrag just for good measure?

I think its not relevant cause I have the same problem on Different computers.

Sorry, u're right. The problem happens only at the same window I drew the line at. If there are two windows with two pairs opened and I'm drawing the line on one of them the second window doesnt have the problem, only the first one.
I use only one window with one pair at the same time in MT4... so I cannot avoid the problem this way.

Dear Yeah,

I am also having problems with MT4 as you experienced - S&R lines appearing across different pairs etc

Did you sort it?

Cheers

I realize it's an old thread, BUT, I just noticed the same damned issue.
One window, draw s/r line on one pair, drag another pair from Market Watch, and s-r lines appears on new pair!
Any solutions?
