I haven't checked with Forex factory in a while. I just watch his videos on YouTube.

I like marking the zones manually with a rectangle. The rectangle doesn't automatically extend across so I just go in and set a longer future date for the end of the rectangle. On my weekly and monthly charts, I've got the date pushed out to something like 2025 which is about as far as I could push it without the date going nuts and reverting back to 1970.

Sam marks his with a small yellow box and then lays trendlines on top and bottom. That way he gets the origin of the box and the trendlines project automatically forever to the right.

One way to keep track of the origin of the box and keep it from getting lost due to the chart not going back far enough is to increase the Max bars in history setting under Tools and Options in MT4. But, if you decide to use any resource-heavy indicators like Zup or have too many charts open with other indicators, MT4 will crash. I currently have 250,000 bars set in my history and on max bars in chart and it seems to work fine.
