U could try adding a horizontal line automatically to the location u clicked. I saw this somewhere, did not use it myself but script/code would look like this: AlertName=Above/Greater;AlertType=LastPrice;AlertOperator=>=;PopupWindow=Yes;Speak=Yes;AutoDelete=Yes;AddAlert; ConfigTrendLine horzline dotline:8f3e24:1:ffffff:8f3e24 ;HorizontalLine ; U can change the configuration of the horizontal line to ur own preference. Example of how to get the colors to ur preference can be found with Kyles Tool here: WEB UTILITY: DAS Hotkey Line Style Configuration tool. - DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks - Bear Bull Traders Forums

I have a solid strategy for trading reversals that I use every day on TNA and TQQQ with consistent success. I laid it out in a forum post here Ive backtested this strategy manually on excel, with the worst possible fills on buys and sells and it always works out as long as you trade every signal. I've also started taking short positions on the exact reverse of this strategy, which also works, and have since moved to using a 2m chart as opposed to a 1m chart so that it produces less signals but stronger trends. I would like to do some more refined backtesting with Stop losses based on the ichimoku indicator (breach of the tenkan or kijun moving averages and well as exits based on an overbought RSI using a script so I can increase position sizes with confidence

Just wanted to come back and answer my own question on this, in case someone else needs it in the future. You can place alerts more quickly now by clicking on the chart. Steps: 1) Right click on a chart > Chart Area > Config Area. Check the box in the bottom-right that says "Enable placing alert on chart". 2) Next, you must create a hotkey (Setup > Hot Key > Add New Item). I have simple scripts for when price crosses above or below my alert price. I'll share them: Price crosses ABOVE alert price: AlertName=newalert;AlertType=LastPrice;AlertOperator=>=;AddAlert Price crosses BELOW alert price: AlertName=newalert;AlertType=LastPrice;AlertOperator=<=;AddAlert 3) Open the Alerts window (Tools > Alert & Trigger). This window NEEDS to be open for the hotkeys to work, so I now just have it permanently fixed in my Desktop layout. 4) Now, when you press your hotkey, an arrow with an "A" next to it will show up on the chart, and you simply click the price where you'd like the alert to be placed. (NOTE: The first time you click, you'll get an error message that says "Placing alert failed". Just click again and it will work. This is a bug and I've reported it to DAS already.
