how to see price level on chart

[nemesis45]

hi,
the chart does show the current price.
However suppose i want to see the previous swing high.
or any level on the chart. -- i use a horizontal line, but the chart doesnt show the price.
how can i see the price which was marked by the horizontal line?

Search through the indicators section or you could also try big mikes.

On your horizontal line you draw, you can double click to get to the draw object properties and set the option to "Auto Scale", and it will always include this line in the scale of your chart.

I think you misunderstood, i just want to see the price at which the line is at.
currently NT isnt showing this.

It will not. You have to put your own label on the line using a Text drawing.

thanks.
but surprised that i need an indicator for such a simple feature

A fair point and one that has been mentioned a lot before - a way around the issue is to add the indicator to your default chart and save the chart as default. This way whenever you open a new instrument and draw a horizontal line on the chart - the value will be shown. Download one of the zip files from the link I gave you earlier and try it out.

Not an indicator. Just use a text draw object from the draw menu. Hot key is F12.

These all will show the price on a horizontal line - the second one has an alert function.
