Can someone tell me why horizontal lines are not plot/drawn at the pointer level?
Also, is there a reason for having no stop and start of an horizontal line?

Re: Drawing horizontal lines [SOLVED]
If you are talking about the manual drawing objects...Can someone tell me why horizontal lines are not plot/drawn at the pointer level?

horizontal line is a horizontal line.
if you want a line with a stop and start, you have to use a "straight line".
if you want a new type of drawing object line, please submit a feature request here:

Re: Drawing horizontal lines
I am indeed refering to manually drawing a horizontal line. If you select the horizontal line tool and click at a specific price level, the line gets almost never drawn at the pointer level. You need to edit the drawing manually to correct the level.I am not sure if I know what you are talking about...

Re: Drawing horizontal lines
You can use the Snap Mode (see the magnet icon), which will get the line to attach to the nearest OHLC levels.I am indeed refering to manually drawing a horizontal line.

If you want to use the free hand drawing mode, but have problem getting the line to the desired level, then your chart resolution is too fine for hand drawing. You can enter the exact level manually after the line is drawn.
There is a request to make drawings increment by the tick size. (eg in ES, the line will move from 1500.00 to 1500.25 to 1500.50, etc.,) You can check the PM to vote for this feature request.

Re: Drawing horizontal lines
Actually, issue MC-1192 (drawing tools snap to price tick size) was refering to the dot.Net version and was closed by MC.
Dealing mainly with FX on hourly charts, I still consider this behavior is a bug. Drawing tools should be able to "stick on chart" at point level. I will open a request for this change and a number of other features I see missing and useful.
Thanks for the feedback.
