How to Draw Horizontal Lines in MT4 (Mac)

How to Draw a Horizontal Line

To draw a horizontal line, switch the cursor to horizontal line mode. There are two ways to do this:

Method 1

Select "Insert" → "Lines" → "Horizontal Line" from the menu.

Method 2

Click the horizontal line icon in the toolbar.

After switching to horizontal line mode, align the cursor to the desired position and click to draw a horizontal line. After drawing, the cursor returns to normal mode.

Double-click the drawn horizontal line and drag & drop to move it.

Detailed Settings in the Line Properties Window

Right-click on the selected horizontal line and choose "Horizontal Line Properties" from the menu to open the properties window.

You can make detailed adjustments using the three tabs in the properties window ("Common", "Parameters", "Visualization").

"Common" Tab

The "Common" tab allows you to specify the line's name, description, color, thickness, and type.
You can also choose whether to display the line in the background.

"Parameters" Tab

The "Parameters" tab allows you to specify the position of the horizontal line by price.

"Visualization" Tab

The "Visualization" tab allows you to specify the timeframes in which the horizontal line is displayed. Uncheck "Show on all timeframes" to display the line only on selected timeframes.

Deleting a Line

To delete a horizontal line, right-click on the selected line and choose "Delete" from the displayed menu.
