Protractor tool


HK~

Question

Intended application:  Anticipate Megaphone trend lines [TL].

 

Request either of two options:

 

#1, Ability to mirror a trend line [TL]similar to clone, only reversed angle - simplest solution

 

#2, Ability to measure angle of trend line's - i.e. 0 -180 degrees from start to end point of TL / horizontal axis as baseline [90 deg]

 

Ref: Percent change tool feature request [add degree''s in cross hair information]

ref: http://forums.medvedtrader.com/index.php?/topic/169-percent-change-tool/

 

 

****Current Methods:****                           

 

 

1, Manual/geometric; Create rectangle on TL - mirror trend line - move into position   **  [time consuming, but accurate]

2, On Screen Protractor's, caveat requires running third party app cumbersome. [PIA]

Hi Mike,

 

Thank you very much for considering this feature.

 

99% of the time the mirrored TL will be manually re-located. What ever is the most consistent with your current methodology works for me.

i.e. the mirrored clone is handled similar to how you currently handle copied lines. [Mirrored TL #1] on screenshot.

 

Just think symmetrical angle.

upslanting TL = downslanting mirror copied @ or below starting anchor

downslanting TL= upslanting mirror copied @ or above starting anchor

The idea of the clone snapping to the midpoint between anchors [mirrored TL #2] sounds nice as a dedicated tool,
but may have an issue if a freestyle TL is drawn in open space, or drawn as conventional TL.
