Well,it gives an inaccurate picture.
The problem is that the beginning of the trendline attaches to a candle.
When you switch timeframes then that candle is obviously not the same anymore.
If the TL was locked and not attached to a candle then it shouldn't shift when switching timeframes.

To avoid problem create objects on the m30 chart. Then change to h1

When I draw a pitchfork on one timeframe and then switch to another timeframe the pitchfork shifts and is not accurate anymore.
How can this be fixed?
Please view pictures below:
Picture1: 1hr timeframe line of pitchfork meets low of candle
Picture2: 30min timeframe line of pitchfork has shifted below candle and is not accurate anymore.
