Greetings,

Do any of you guys know how to modify lines on a oanda chart? I try to click over on the line as per the instructions given on their website but I couldn't "get" the line, as if it never existed at all. Please kindly assists. Thanks!

Just right-click over the line you draw and the following menu appears (see pic).. select the option you want... hope that helps...

Cheers!

When you "get" the line, your cursor pointer should turn into a pointing finger. Is that happening?

And are you referring to trendlines, or are you asking about the lines that show where your stoploss and TP are? They can be moved with your mouse also.

Yup the cursor turns into a pointing finger. But when I try right clicking or left clicking the add study, market buy..sell menu came out instead.

If it's a take profit or stop line then you'll get a dialog box that asks you if you want to modify it. If it's a trendline you can remove it.

If you want to add a trendline...to the upper right of your chart see the BUY SELL and two other boxes, click the second one. Here's an image attached.

It sounds like you need to 'aim' better at the line. Can you get anything to popup at all ?? If you click on a take profit line or a trendline, anything ??

You should get something like this attached image.

Update: I just tested on my live OandA account and there's no problems. Are you on fxtrade or fxgame.
Update 2: just tried on fxgame and having the same issue.

Well I'm on fxgame. And no haha I know how to add those lines. It just that I can't modify it in anyway. In any case, I don't think I missed the "target" when clicking on the lines as I moved the cursor over the line it did turns into pointing finger. It's just that I couldn't get the modification menu of the line to appear, instead what I got is the Add Study, Mkt buy sell menu.

Hey guys! It works again, for no apparent reason. I guess it was probably a software bug, but still thanks all of you here for your kind attention and help. Happy trading and holidays for all of you!
