Trend lines don't stay in place when changing time-frame

[adamus]

Here I created some trend lines on a daily chart and then switched to the hourly chart, where you can see the trend lines are totally differently positioned.

This is probably a known issue, right?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Can you tell me what "Snap Mode" you have selected when drawing the trend lines on your chart.

Also within your 60 Minute chart it appears you may not have enough data loaded to plot the beginning point fo your trend line that is displayed within the Daily chart. Please right click within your 60 Minute chart-->Data Series-->Days to load-->Set to 60-->Click Ok.

Set the days to 60 and the trend line moved down to the correct place.

Seems like a bit of a major quirk. Surely it should be linked to the price and the datetime, which has nothing to do with how much data is present? I set snap mode to "price and bar" but it made no difference.

In order for the line to plot correctly data will need to be present for all anchors that were used within the Daily chart where the drawing object originated.

OK I see, so that's less than ideal, don't you agree?
