"OHLC Ray Tool" and "Horizontal Level Tool" are similiar. The disadvantage of the Horizontal is that it do not snap automatically to OHLC and the disadvantage of OHLC Ray is that there is only an extention line possible.

I am still looking for a tool like "Horizontal Level..." but it should snap automatically to the OHLC ==>> "OHLC Level Tool"

Good points.

1) OHLC does not offer "Snap" options in right-click menu
2) OHLC cannot be extended to the left
3) OHLC cannot be cut like other lines
4) OHLC while documented in the scstructures.h file, but not in the documentation does not work. ACSIL code does work for Horizontal line.

There is also an artifact when trying to place the OHLC line on some charts where it doesn't take the highs/lows.
I'm not sure I can reproduce it, but try EURUSD on M05 at 2024-08-11 and try to snap to the high of the last candle at 23:55
For me, it always snaps to near the close and doesn't seem able to see the high, even when the mouse is significantly above the candle high.
If I expand the chart to make the candles larger, I am able to snap. So perhaps it has to do with percentage sensitivity.
2 fixes I warmly recommend: "invert prices" and "snap to prices"

Perhaps not a bug, but sort of confusing.
