Point to Point Lines Don't Adjust to Time Frame

[TomTeej]

Hi there,

Wondered if anyone could troubleshoot this or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?

Point to point lines don't seem to adjust when I drop the time frame. For example, I have one showing a breach with the daily candles:

But dropping to hourly candles, it's nowhere near:

Surely these should adjust like the channels do, or am I missing something, using the wrong tool?

Thanks for any help,

Tom

Hi @TomTeej

Thanks for the query

The point to point drawing tool remains on the same points regardless of the timeframe. Moving from one time frame to the other will result in different candles at your specified points i.e a point on a 4 hr timeframe will have a different corresponding candle on a 1 hr timeframe. I would suggest trying out one of the indicators, e.g we recently added the SuperTrend. All the best

Hi Anda,

But SuperTrend isn't the same thing.

If I use a channel on a 4 hour, for example. like so:

It adapts to the same price points when dropping time frames:

Is there not a line that can behave like this? I suppose being attached to the price action, rather than stretched between two points in time?

Cheers,

Tom

Found I can use the trend line, just annoying it stretches across everything...!
