Set Right Side Margin Property for the Chart

[dkrumholz]

Can one set the Right side margin Property for the Chart from within a Strategy or Indicator? If so, how? For that matter, can any or all Chart properties by set programatically?

Unfortunately this is not supported from NinjaScript.

Hi Josh,

Can you tell me how to fix the chart so that the active price bars do not move through the right margin. I have a chart that moves really fast and often have to pull it back many pages to bring it into the active screen. I would like to fix it so that it can't go past the right margin.

Thanks

Is this what you want

ChartControl.BarMarginRight = 125;

This places an empty space of 125 after the last bar which will always be maintained.

Thanks mate, that sounds about right. I just don't know where to do that exactly, still new to the the platform and unsure where are the controls are located.

Many Thanks!

Or you might be able to stick it on Initialize but try it and see!

Right side margin will only persist if you are already looking at the most recent bar. Please be sure to not have a black arrow on the top right of your chart. If you have this icon that means you are looking at historical data and you would need to press the icon to get back to real-time data. If 127 is not enough for you please increase it even further till you get the desired look on your chart.

can be done from within the indicator by putting in
OnStartUp()

for example:

protectedoverridevoid OnStartUp()
{
ChartControl.BarMarginRight = 400;
}
