You can change the scaling of the price scale to dynamically adapt to the section of the time series that is shown on the screen, or to relate to the fixed maximum and minimum points of the loaded historic data.
See also Scaling the Time Series to the Screen.
▪ Right-click on the chart pane and select Properties.
▪ On the left side of the dialog, select the name of the chart pane, and then V.Scale > Scale. For example: Pane 1 > V.Scale > Scale.
▪ On the right side of the dialog, choose between the following settings:
|
Screen |
Only the part of the time series that is visible on the screen is taken into account for vertical scaling. When you scroll the chart to the left or right with the scrollbar, the scaling is adjusted dynamically so that the maximum of the visible time series is always at the top of the chart, and the minimum of the visible time series is at the bottom of the chart. This is the default setting. |
|
Entire data series |
The entire loaded time series is taken into account for vertical scaling, including historic data that might not be visible at the moment. When you scroll the chart to the left or right with the scrollbar, the scaling does not change, as the size of the vertical scale has been determined already by using the maximum and minimum of the entire time series. This setting might lead to blank spaces at the top or bottom of the visible part of the chart, especially when you load a lot of historic data to your chart. |
|
User defined |
Enter a Maximum and Minimum value for the price scale. All parts of the time series that would be plotted above or below these prices are cut off. |
Note When you use the Screen or Entire data series options, all reference points of drawing objects (text, arrows, lines etc.) are also taken into account when calculating the maximum and minimum of the time series, so that drawing objects always remain visible on the chart.
