advice? auto resize price panel when price is running

[llanqui]

I scalp the NQ and when the price is pushing the high or low boundaries of the panel it is a distraction and delay for me to manually adjust the price panel so I can give the price some "open space" to move.

I need a way to do this automatically so I am not constantly manually adjusting the high/low boundary of the panel when the prices is running.

I would like to write an indicator that will have a parameter, of say a (top and bottom) default of 50 ticks, that once a minute or so, the panel will auto adjust so that at least that the top or bottom (two parameters) boundary has at least that much room to move from the current price

this could be accomplished by drawing an auto-scale object at that new boundary price

to check the current display (panel) Top/Bottom would this be as simple as checking the ChartPanel.MaxValue and ChartPanel.MinValue against the current price?

Ok, I checked this out...and it is useful, but what I need is to set it in code, dynamically, based on current conditions, when it is running I would toggle more top or bottom "margin". Otherwise I would like it to be the default setting.

there seems to be no way to do this .... or, is there?

in other words, to be able to set these panel properties dynamically

Margin type	Sets the calculation mode for determining the upper and lower panel margins by "Price" or "Percent". (Percent values are whole percents. For example, entering a value of "1" equals 1%.)
Margin lower	Sets the lower margin value
Margin upper	Sets the upper margin value

There is a warning that it may not work. I never tested it myself. If it doesn't work just make some transparent drawings with autoscale.

Hello llanqui,

Do you have Auto Scale checked in the dataseries settings? The chart should by default automatically scale to include the price as its moving out of the current viewable range. The only reason it would not would be if you modified the auto scale or the margin settings to prevent that.
