Measuring Trend-Line Length in Points
Article MQL5 code base
Summary
This brief note describes a chart indicator that displays the length of drawn trend lines in points. It adds a point count to existing trend lines and to lines drawn later, allowing users to compare or measure trend distances by moving a line on the chart.
The document offers no trading rules, market analysis, empirical results, or details about how point values are calculated across instruments. Its practical scope is limited to a visual measurement aid; it does not explain how to identify trends or use the measurements in a strategy.
Key ideas
- The indicator labels trend lines with their length in points.
- It applies the measurement to lines already on the chart and lines drawn afterward.
- Moving a line allows users to measure different trend distances.
- The document does not describe a trading strategy or performance evidence.
