Hi Friends,

Would anyone be able to help create a better ‘trend tool’ please?

The existing trend tool in tradovate you draw from the midpoint, which isnt great. What I’d like to be able to do is draw from either the support/resistance point and then drag for the height of the channel. Similar to the way tradingview / ninjatrader has it.

Hopefully somebody a little more tech savy than myself can help here!

Thank you so much

I don’t have a problem clicking on the chart and dragging the line where I want and then hold Ctrl and double click to duplicate the line.
