Maybe I am not making myself clear, I want the visual lines so I can ….. Let me give you a picture
See attached.
So what I would have at the top of the chart are 2 buttons LONG and SHORT when I see price action that I want to trade Long
I would click the Long button and the AFL code would create 3 trend lines with the appropriate study ID and in this case for the green
trigger line it would be “RE” for resistance, then using Tomasz’s “Trend Line Broken Code”
buy = cross( study( "RE" ), close );
the other 2 lines would just be the y = values (variables) for the prices of the stop and target.
A couple of more things when either the LONG or SHORT button is clicked the 3 trend lines that are created are just placed in the middle of
the chart with some separation between each one, then they would be dragged into the appropriate location.
Also note the order of lines relative to Long or Short. Trigger line would always be in the middle with Stop line and Target line either above /below
the trigger line depending if going long or short.
Hopefully I made some sense with the above.

I got it now, just didn't have the word 'automation' in my mine at
first, given your current programing experience.
I've long given up the dream of fully automating my systems. That
doesn't mean others can't do it either. TJ and a few others like
herman and Graham are the right persons to ask.
Line is just a visual tool, maybe you can bypass it and just
calculate the price levels.
good luck.
