Question regarding trendline in EA

[bobo1974]

Hi all,

 I read somewhere we can draw trendline in indicator but the information is still very vague for me

 Need help to clarify a few things

 

1. I assume it is true you can draw trendline with mql4. do we use obj_trend for this?

2.  is it possible to write an EA whereby once the trendline is drawn, the line is extended so that when price crosses that trendline in the future, it triggers an entry? if yes, where can i find information regarding this?

 

Thanks
