Draw a line from A to B in MT4

I have often been drawing Trendlines in MT4.
But I have somehow not found the way to draw a short sloping or slanting line between 2 point - say point A and Point B on the chart.
Would appreciate if someone would explain how it is being done.

Thanks
Have a nice weekend

Put a trendline on your chart.
Right click your chart and select "Objects List"
Find the trendline- click on it- select "edit"- uncheck "ray".

From then on when you draw a trendline it will only extend between the two points it was drawn to.

There may be an easier way to do it, but what I wrote will work.

Or you can double click on the trend line to select it and then right click on that selected trend line you drew and it will bring up the same menu of that Trend Line choices.

A year later and now I am trying to figure out to do the same thing in SaxoTrader 2.

I just am about to use Saxo in Switzerland for both stocks and Forex Trading.

Saxo is a bank and is regulated under Swiss Banking laws.
That assures that your deposit is guaranteed up to Fr30'000.- in case of them going bankrupt.

Morever in the coming months, I am waiting to put back some money into stocks - in energy, medical and foods. I am eyeing now Nestle.
