Trendlines & Multiple Timeframes

[MacAttack]

When I draw a trendline on a 1440-minute chart or a 5-minute chart it will not display in the correct location on a 1-minute chart. I've tried everything. Auto-scale on/off, snap mode on/off, lock, changed both charts to 60 days of data, played around with the anchor points, etc, etc, etc.

Is there a way to fix this?

If I draw a trendline on one chart that passes thru 50 & 60 for example, I would expect to look at a smaller timeframe chart & see that same trendline passing thru 50 & 60. Otherwise why does the trendline have the option to "apply to all charts"?

Thanks.

It might apply to your situation.

I've tried everything mentioned in that thread. Still doesn't work.
I'll create a trendline touching 2 or 3 points on a chart, and choose the option to apply to all charts.
Then when I look at a smaller timeframe chart the trendline no longer touches those price points.
Driving me crazy. Both are minute-based, same # of days in history, both 24/7.

Forgot to ask....................does it work ok for you?

After some more experimenting it has to do with the "Start Time" if you click on the properties of the trendline. The start time is what's causing the problem I believe.

I don't deal with that situation ... freestockcharts.com in silverlight also has issues with multiple time frames.. 2/4 hours charts to 2/3/x day charts are pretty bad.

Well, it sounds like you might have solved the issue in your latest post.

Maybe you can create new charts with your issues, with only the trend lines in question, and post some pictures of the issues and what you did to resolve it.. should help out other people.

I didn't solve it unfortunately. Just noticed the start time was messed up. I don't have any way of fixing it though even though I tried everything I could think of.
