horizontal line (HL) by stock symbol

[mnewton]

Is it possible or it would be nice to have the HL
line option by stock symbol.

Basically to have a range  on the hist chart for some symbols

 

[Jerry Medved]

not quite sure what you are asking. please elaborate.

[mnewton]

On an historical chart that changes with symbol selection.

I need top and bottom lines signifying a price range

for each symbol.

for SPY lets say 267 and 285

for SHOP 260 and 290

so as the symbol changes so does the HL line.

Means having to keep HL data for each symbol

[Jerry Medved]

isn't that the Price Channel indicator?

[mnewton]

These are manually entered lines that mark the
top and bottom of credit put/call spreads

Not calculated

[Jerry Medved]

Using a horozontal trendline would be better for that. That designed to be per symbol

[mnewton]

I dont see horizontal trend line in the indicators?

[Jerry Medved]

Not indicators. Just draw a horizontal trendline. hold down the shift key when drawing to make it perfectly horizontal.

[mnewton]

That works ok thanks

[mnewton]

Maybe handy to have the HL attached to a symbol

as that has the actual $ amount and is easier

o setup

[mnewton]

Maybe to have the option on an alert to show it on historical

or intraday chart as a HL

[Jerry Medved]

well, back to the trendlines - you can set a horizontal trendline alert. That is what it is for

[mnewton]

It would be helpful at some stage to have the option to show

regular price alerts on the charts as when there are many  alerts set and

stock prices change rapidly  it would be handy to see where alerts

are set just by looking at the chart and not having to wade thru all alerts and numerically

checking values.
