Turn Snap OFF/ON

By default, price snap is on when you enter trend line mode. When you draw a trend line while price snap is on, the end-point of the trend line will “snap” to the nearest price (open, high, low, close) on the bar chart. Price snap is a useful tool for precision trend line drawing.

Price snap only works when you are drawing a trend line. Trend lines will snap to overlays only when the bars in the overlay have been removed. (The commands for removing and displaying bars are .BARS OFF and .BARS ON, respectively.) When drawing trend lines on a study, a trend line will snap to the curve of the study. On multiple line studies, a trend line will snap to the nearest line.
