hey nick..... is "use chart as template" checked...... look in the lower right for the choose security box.... click on that box and click the 'use smart charts' under the option tab.... now your dealing with each security on its on....... meta has several other places that can be done such as under 'tools'-'options'-'chart options'..... h

hey nick..... templates and smart charts are kinda different things, but yes you can still save a template with trendlines.... if you did save a trendline on a 'template' it would only relate to that one security.... in other words you'd be back in your original question boat.... it might be best to save the trendline on that specific security's smart chart....... templates are more for indicators, line studies, overlays or experts that can be applied from one security to the next with no ties to the previous one..... a saved trend line would be a tie......there are a few exceptions to that, however..... it takes a few minutes to create them, but once saved, templates seem to be the most efficient for me.....h
