The IT_Emblem is a popular tool to use with the IT_Quadrilateral. Click the beginning location, click second location, move far dot to a final location and click a third time. Reselect the second or third to relocate those positions. Adjust Emblem to line up.
Above you can see the IT_Quadrilateral tool high point predicting the down turn of price before reaching the closest Emblem line.
In the above charts you can see the Diagonals and Quarters turned on as well as the Angle.
Adding the IT_ChartSquare and squaring the chart allows you to see the corner angle is 90 deg. and the Quad is actually square cornered.

Change Log
-
3/11/16 - Modified the TickAdjuster to be more accurate in Auto mode.
12/24/15 - Removed the Restore Data section in Parameters to save space.
7/6/15 - Updated the quick setting button. Pull down menu arrow integrated and on the right side.
5/7/15 - Added quick settings from button pulldown and added Ticks per bar and Points per bar overrides to the Tick Adjuster.
3/28/15 - Removed the optional corner dots and replaced with visuals of the hotspots. Now able to move the whole polygon by dragging the 1st anchor hotspot. Dragging the 2nd anchor hotspot now does not remove the polygon but instead allows reshaping the quad.
2/17/15 - Modified the indicator to work on non-equidistant bars. User is cautioned when using it as the irregularly spaced bars will not interact normally with the tool and cause an irregular polygon shape.
1/8/15 - Added the TickAdjuster function and Angle display option.
12/25/14 - Added Diagonal lines and Quarters (polygon 1/2 lines). Made dots invisible by default.
12/22/14 - Fixed bug with the Snap Off function.
12/18/14 - added product
