Before I put in a position I put in horizontal lines that are representing t/p and s/l. Somehow these seem to disappear after a while. I'm starting to feel I have some sort of bug in my system, or is this normal?

Do you use indicators on that chart ?
If yes: remove all indicators , draw a horizontal line and it will not leave.
This means that one of your indicators is deleting all objects on the chart.
It must be modified to stop that behavior.
Generally an indicator should only delete objects drawn by itself.
There are EAs which delete all objects too. Bad coding (if not necessary for the EA functions).
When I put a horizontal line on the chart it doesn't let me do anything with it, not even after double clicking. I saw this in YouTube vid's as well but it doesn't work on my MT4 platform.
What is choose:
Insert > Lines > Horizontal, and I choose where on the chart I want to have it. Once it's on there I can only remove it through objects (right mouse click).

Go to Tools>Options or Ctrl+0
Click on the Objects tab, You can set prefs there.
Hi, if you are using an EA or multiple EAs, temporarily remove them one by one and identify the one deleting the horizontal lines. It means there is an EA with a code that initializes everything on the chart. Once you have identified the particular EA, under the navigator pane, right click on the EA and click 'modify' to get to the code. When the MetaEditor opens the code for the EA, look for the initialization code and the entry 'ObjectsDeleteAll()'. Simply comment the ObjectsDeleteAll() by inserting two forward slashes before it. i.e. //ObjectsDeleteAll(). Finally compile the EA code, refresh your MT4 and try again.
I hope that helps. Great trading!

On his behalf, thanks for solving this 10-year old problem.
That will only work with an EA that can be "modified"
As you know, some are locked
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.
