Zoom out in Charts

[sesplin]

How do I zoom out in my charts? I mean zoom out way beyond what the magnifying glass on the chart bar on the top will allow. Someone did it on a webinar I logged in to the other day.
Thanks

Hello sesplin,

Thank you for your post.

Other than the magnifying glass tool, you could edit the bar attributes such as width & spacing.

If this is not what you were referring to, please provide info on which webinar you attended.

You may also want to have a look at this resource for Navigating a Chart in NinjaTrader.

Hi-
Thank you for the link. I figured out how to make it work.

That has caused another question. When I compress the data and scroll through when the price drops it drops below the viewable area. How do I keep the bars on the screen when I compress the bars?

Thanks

Hello sesplin,

If the data series moves out of view then you can either hold the ‘Ctrl’ key while left-click & dragging the price scale up & down.

Alternatively you can click the small “F” in the upper right-hand corner of the chart to revert back to auto-scale.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Make more bars visible

How to zoom out/in chart slowly by pressing a key. I have seen in other charting softwares that when you press -(minus) or + (plus) sign, chart will zoom in/out on each key press. do we have same feature in NT?

[sesplin]

hold down the control key while pressing up or down arrow. that will zoom in or out.
