J Hamon,
Well here's a third option you can try to get around this problem of erratic
trendlines.
In addition to trendlines thickness and video adjustments, why don't you
make absolutely sure that the trendline was not created in a time frame
larger than the one you notice this erratic trendline behavior.
By that I mean, if you create the trendline on a chart of say 15 minutes
that is set to use 25 days of back data, and then change the same chart to a
5 minute timeframe using perhaps 5 days of back data, the trendline will get
very confused. If the start of the trendline is more than 5 days back, then
the poor old trendline cannot re-create itself on days that no longer exist.
The solution is to be sure the default (days back) for every timeframe you
use, is the same.
This may create other problems, but it will solve the problem of trendlines
moving on their own.

|The problem has to do with the video card. As a first step, go to video
|properties then troubleshooting and move the slide bar to turn off
|all video
|acceleration. This should fix the problem. However if your card is like
|mine, it will be quite slow, so you go to step 2: go to ebay and
|buy a cheap
|older video card. The one I picked was a Creative Labs Graphics Blaster
|Extreme -- cost about $20. Step 3, if you so choose, is to then sell your
|newer, nicer video card for more than the old one you bought. In some
|circles, this is known as VCA -- video card arbitrage.
|
|The same problem causes big problems with many drawing tools on TS2k and
|also on TS4.
