The new Linked Parallel Lines drawing tool is very similar tool to Trend Channel. It allows you to draw multiple parallel lines, but at customizable distances relative to the main line.

Linked Parallel Lines are drawn like normal trend line by connecting two spots (A and B). Then, you need to click on the third point (C) to draw linked parallel line. You can add more parallel lines at a customized distance relative to the main line.

You can show / hide labels and prices and change the color and style of the Linked Parallel Lines: See Customizing Linked Parallel Lines.

▪       Move the mouse pointer away from the main line and click on the third reference point (C – parallel line) at the distance where you want to position the parallel line.
