Instantly draw horizontal lines from a single click.
Multiple Price Points
Choose from Open, High, Low, Close, candle midpoint, candle body midpoint, upper or lower wick midpoint or even click anywhere on the chart to draw your line.
Powerful annotations
Automatically attach a text label to each line as you draw it, using preconfigured default text that’s editable, plus up to 5 predefined texts accessible via right-click. Text annotations can be hidden and revealed only on click to maintain a clean, uncluttered chart appearance. Align text horizontally to suit your preference.
Customizable appearance
Adjust line style, color, width, and opacity to distinguish your levels at a glance.

Interval-specific styles
Customize predefined line styles for up to 9 chart intervals (such as Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 1H). Color-coding lines makes it easy to identify their originating timeframe, improving your multi-timeframe analysis. This clarity supports better decision-making by highlighting stronger or more significant price levels.
Price Labels
Optionally display the exact price value at the line’s right edge for quick reference.
Layer Control
Choose whether lines appear in front of or behind chart bars to keep your charts clean and readable.

Release notes
version 8
December 19, 2025
- To simplify tracking and usage for customers, we skipped version 7 to align the feature sets of Extended Lines and Extended Rectangles. Since both tools are extremely similar, having the same major version ensures you know you have the equivalent features regardless of which one you’re using.
- Improved compatibility with NinjaTrader version 8.1.6.0
- We’ve migrated to a new, more reliable licensing system that no longer depends on the NinjaTrader Machine ID. This eliminates license instability caused by Windows updates, BIOS changes, and duplicate Machine IDs, ensuring your license works consistently without requiring frequent reactivation.
version 6.1
November 14, 2024
- Improve stability by addressing a rare occurrence of an unhandled exception error.
version 6.0
August 4, 2023
- New option to draw the line from the bar open time.
- New visibility option. You now have the option to make the Line visible only on the chart interval you drew the line from.
You also have a new option to make the line visible only on the selected chart intervals. To use this new option, the Interval visibility needs to be set to “Selected_Interval”. Then the values from the setting group “If Interval visibility = Selected_Interval” are used to determine if the rectangle should be visible or not. - New line type: 50% of the wick
- Add option to create custom @DATE string by adding the desired date/time format in parenthesis. For example you could use @DATE(HH:mm) which will print 15:45. Or you could use @DATE(MM/dd) which will print 05/13.
The complete list of available characters is available in the user guide which you can access under the GUIDE tab on the product webpage. - Fix saving the text color in Templates
version 5.0
December 6, 2022
- Add option to draw the line either in front or behind the chart bars.
- Add new option called “Cut drawing here” when you right click on a line. When selected, the drawing anchor point will move to where the mouse cursor was when opening the context menu. If the mouse was on the left of the most left anchor then the line will start from this new position. When selecting cut drawing here, the associated extension is automatically deactivated for that side of the line.
- Add a second anchor (To Anchor). This allows to select where the right side of the line needs to end.
- Add option to hold the Alt key to move freely the From Anchor (move in both X and Y directions). When holding the shift key the price doesn’t change and only the bar change. When not pressing any modifier key, price will follow the bar snapping price reference.
- Bug fix: Now the default text string can be empty and the preset text will be visible when selected. Before the default text string needed to be not empty.
- Bug fix: When trying to draw a line that needs bar price values in the right margin where there is no bar, the drawing will stay in build (pen cursor) until the user click over an existing bar.
