Is there a way to "fix" the Y axis?

[cassb]

I'd like to have the Y axis on my charts 'fixed' so that the scale remains the same regardless of what the current or past prices are. If the price moves outside my fixed Y axis range, it would just go off the chart and I'd have to vertically scroll or change the axis scale to see it. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, this is not possible. I will forward your inquiry to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.

OK thanks Jason. I just find it annoying to have the Y axis scale change after I have set it the way I like to see it.

PepeIlegal has written the Vertical Scrolling Script to fix the Y-Axis:

And this will work with an individual indicator to keep it from rescaling, but not the price panel...

public override void GetMinMaxValues(ChartControl chartControl, ref double min, ref double max)
{
   min = -100;            // As far south as it can go.
   max = +100;            // Set a top limit too.
}

The above was added to my copy of the Ergodic to keep it from rescaling itself all the time. With these values it will always display from -100 to +100 (the theoretical limits for the indicator) whether or not there are any values plotted close to these extremes.

For indicators you can simply add the indicator "Constant Lines" to the indicator's panel, select the values and make the lines transparent.

Best trading,

Jorge

I put this in the Suggestion forum quite sometime ago, but don't see it listed there anymore. Perhaps I just overlooked it, but I for one would sure appreciate this enhancement. TS has it, but they (last time I saw it), had it set that when it was locked to a size, it would also AutoCenter, which I thought made no sense at all. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.
