How to view longer time periods in a chart?

[Precisely]

Very new to NT, but it seems really good! One question though. I'm used to looking at some charts in periods of 60+ months, not 4 months, which seems to be the default in NT (use daily closes). How do I change this? The "zoom out" doesn't seem to work. To be clear i "prefer" not to scroll. I appreciate any tips.

Hello Precisely,

Thank you for your post.

You may change the how many bars are displayed by right mouse clicking in your chart-->Format data series-->Days back-->Adjust-->Click OK

If you want to set a new default that is used when creating a new chart please go to Tools-->Options-->Data tab-->Chart default look back period-->Adjust the values you want used-->Click OK

The Zoom out tool only works if you have Zoomed in on an area within the chart.

You may expand or compress time on the X-Axis so bars with the steps below.

• Move your mouse to the X-Axis
• Hold down your left mouse button
• While holding down the left mouse button move the mouse to the left to expand time
• While holding down the left mouse button move to the right to compress time

I have included a link below to our Help Guide that includes a great video on navigating a chart.
