Open Letter to Worden Brothers

Quote from trade2live:

com'on you just have to draw the lines properly. I am against anything that takes away discretion from the user, some chart packages have auto trendlines for example, complete nonsense from developpers who don't know much about real life TA. Besides trendline analysis is not a science, you don't want to have a rule that says it snaps to the lows , or the highs.

The correct way is to offer AN OPTION for the computer to snap the line to the exact low of the pivotal bars you choose

OPTION MR MAGOO OPTION

Why should I when the computer can facilitate the time consuming task ?

Besides, if you want the freedom, disable the snap on option like most professional packages allow and you can continue using it as it is now.

I have used both http://www.freestockcharts.com/ as well as http://www.tc2000.com/. I have stopped using them mainly because of the limitation for not being able to draw clear lines. Any software that does not snap the start and end of the line to clear pivots (like High or low of the bar etc.) is something not ready for primetime. NT, TS, Sierrachart, TOS all does it.

I have written to them about this and so far not gotten any feedback.

I am glad I am not the only person who was feeling that way and very glad to see many feel the same way.

Hope they read this thread and hope they take this seriously and add this enhancement.

Till that enhancement gets added, their software is like a delicious food that smells great but you can't have it because you have a dirty forks & plates so cant eat it.

Considering you been ignoring my petition I decided to take a more aggressive approach and post it on an open forum

Until your software freestockcharts and the paid version tc2000 includes snap on lines all technical analysis based on lines is inefficient and inaccurate in your software due to involuntary errors that could easily be corrected via line snapping to highs and lows pivots.

The gaming that can be done is so frustrating until the above is corrected the software will continue to be subpar at best.

It takes a professional to understand what I'm saying perhaps someone in your company is one.

You go!! I am philosophically aligned with you!! I want computers to be working very hard for me, not the other way around. I am joining in your battle, I'm down bro!! I'll not ever use Worden Bros stuff [but who would actually...]
 
Hard to believe they won't do something so simple that would make their software much better. I will not waste my time with it until they provide this feature

Totally agree with OP.

Some traders like to ignore wicks other use the extremes.

Having the option and flexibility is basic for charting software.
 
Good charting software should allow snapping lines to any points. Also studies like Fibo retracements. I agree.

I would also add Amibroker to the list. It does this very nicely both from trend lines and Fibo.
 
H-L-O-C Four basic points on a price bar

Any interactive charting platform should accommodate at the very minimum the ability to "snap or anchor" the trend line to the high's and lows of bars - with the option to enable/disable the feature

Agree with OP
