Are you wondering how to draw a short horizontal line in MT4? Do your trendlines stretch indefinitely and you can’t use them?
In this short tutorial, we will explain step by step how to draw a short horizontal line in your chart.
To draw a short horizontal line, you will need to use the “draw trendline” button instead of the “draw horizontal line” button. Insert the new trendline in the graph near the desired point.
Double click on the trendline and then with the right button, select “Trendline Properties”.
In the “parameters” table you have to enter the same value in both cells and deselect “Ray”
Below we show you with pictures on how to draw a short horizontal line.
