Hi,

I wrote an indicator which draws support/resistance lines based on the historical data. I used s_UseTool to draw the trendlines. The problem I'm facing is I can end up with over a thousand trendlines in a chart because I delete the SR lines when the price crosses them and create new ones as they form. Even though most of these lines are not shown in the visible window, this slows down the computer significantly. Is this expected?

I'll change my implementation to use subgraphs and not display all the levels but I was wondering if there is a trick to make the s_UseTool to work in this case.

Thanks
