In Sierra, I'd like to have the Horizontal Line follow the Zig Zag Highs and Lows.

E.G. If the market price action is dropping and the TF has just dropped to a HL or LL of say 1179.8, then the Horizontal Line (ALT-8) drops to a corresponding level above the HL or LL. In the example, I'd like to see the Horizontal Line 20-tics above the HL or LL or at 1181.8.

If the Price Action dropped lower, then the Horizontal Line would drop a corresponding amount.

If the Price Action were to rise and go through the Horizontal Line and create a LH or HH condition, then the Horizontal Line would adjust to the new LH or HH.

Is this something that can be done?

Thanks

Similar.

In the attached image, the current Zig Zag low is at 1169.6 and I have a horizontal line that is 2.4 above it at 1172.0

If the Zig Zag were to drop any more than I'd like the line to drop a corresponding amount. I can then
set up the exit from a trade at the Horizontal Line.

Thanks

As TF has dropped since my earlier post, I've lowered the Horizontal Line. Yes, I can have a trailing stop but the more important feature to me is reversing to the Horizontal Line tells me the market may have reversed.

Thanks
