Trendlines move when interval changes
Here are some lines I drew. The red line was drawn on a 2 minute chart, but when I change intervals to 15 minute you can see the change. The blue line was drawn on a 15 minute chart then the interval was changed to 2 minutes. Is there something I am doing wrong? On one scale it hits the line but on another it doesn't? On the other hand the last two charts here are from TDA Strategy Desk. Drawn on 2 minute chart then scaled back to 10 minutes, but the lines stick (I didn't even use any snap-to-bar mode in TDA, just free line drawing). What can I do to get the same results so that I can get the same results on the charts?

Also wanted to add this 3-minute chart. from TDA. The line was originally drawn on a 2-minute chart and it was started on a bar at time = 13.10, but see how TDA makes it look ok. It appears to smooth it out because this 3-minute bar is showing a time of 13:09 and yet it looks right (namely it hits the top of the price range)

Thanks for reporting this.
Just curious - if you enable the Snap to OHLC feature in the drawing object menu, then draw a new line or set of lines, does the same issue occur?

It still happens. I used snap to bar and price and drew lines in a two minute chart making sure that it snapped to a candle top or bottom and when I go to 10 minute chart it looks funny. Where it was snapped to a price on a two minute chart it hangs over space on the 10 minute chart, never even getting to the top of the candle.

No problem. Thanks for looking into it. Here are some snapshots. As you can see according to the line properties box, the Y end price matches but the end time is off. The cross-hair and data box is at 14:50 but the reported end time in the line properties is 14:54. The bottom pic shows the blue line data.
Edit: The red line ends bewteen 17.38 & 17.41 high wicks and the blue line ends close to the 17.22 & 17.29 low wicks.
