Problem with creating a line with standard class CChartObjectTrendByAngle

[Amir Yacoby]

I have a script that creates trend lines. that I use to 

When I create a trend line using this class, with 2 points, it shifts the second point price a little lower then point 2.

For instance, EURUSD 4H I use:

line.Create(0,line_name,0,dt1,pr1,dt2,pr2)

and the line is created at dt1,pr1,dt2,pr2 - x pips

 

When I change the class to CChartObjectTrend instead of the CChartObjectTrendByAngle, the line is created ok.

See if this discussion can help you.

Thanks,

From bried reading, it seems it talks about the magnet sensitivity which is relevant when you draw objects manually.
If I draw using standard library class as mentioned above, by giving exact 2 points (date + price), what can be the problem?

I haven't tried. Are you sure that these options apply only for objects drawn manually ?

If not, then show the code you have used, what's the value of your x in "pr2 - x pips" ?

Here you go, please take in consideration I use EURUSD H4, and the prices you see are the lows I have on both bars.

The drawn line has second point which is placed below that price (below 1.27550), and when I look at the properties of the created line, I see a different second point price than the one I gave (not 1.27550).

Ok, I obtain 1.27553. I am searching an explanation.

Thanks. If I change it to CCHartObjectTrend I get the right price.

Ah ok, I missed that. Then seems to me that it is a problem of rounded price. Angle is a double, and is not always very accurate.

yes I thought so, But does it mean that I can not use the angle object, even if I create the line using 2 points, and not the angle? 

How can I use it accurately then, given 2 exact points?

I just want to create the line by 2 points and then have its angel, not create a line by its angel.
