Extended Line
Application
Extended Line drawing tool allows you to place a line on your chart which extends indefinitely in any direction. It can be used to create your own trend line or trend channel. The key feature is that it extends indefinitely. This means that no matter how far into the future or past you move the chart, the line will still be visible, extending at the same angle as its origin.
Style
In Style property dialog it is possible to change the appearance of an Extended Line:
Line
Sets the color, opacity, thickness and style of an extended line. The second drop-down menu contains options of setting the line style and extending one or both line's ends to infinity.
Also, in the last two drop-downs of Line, an arrow-shaped end may be set instead of a normal one for the left and right ends of the extended line. To make the line's end visible, switch off its extending by slider.
Show Middle Point
Toggles the visibility of the extended line's mid-point.
