Auto Scale Issue

[johnMoss]

Building an indicator that applies plots that can be well outside of current price action. Not done this before and assumed I can "hide" out of reasonable scale plots by simply declaring auto scale to be false. Apparently not true. The result is of course the price action shrinks to scribbles in the center as the indicator has taken over the chart and shows all active plots. Examining System indicator Fibonacci Pivots I see it performs as like what I'm looking for. Which attribute is defining that behavior?

Hello johnMoss,

Thank you for your post.

Setting IsAutoScale = false in State.Configure should work, if there is at least one object on the chart is does have AutoScale set to true. In order for the AutoScale setting to work when set to false, at least one object on the chart must be in scale.

Thank you Gaby. I tested that and doesn't work. I note in the NT Fibonacci Pivots indicator, SharpDX.DirectWrite has been employed. Is that the resolution?

FibonacciPivots has auto scale automatically set to false. If you set it to true in the settings you will see the change.

From my testing, the AutoScale setting is working as expected. Below is the attached test script, you can test it yourself by applying it to a chart and toggling the SetAutoScale bool in the indicator's properties window (note this is different from the default AutoScale setting under the 'Visual' section of the properties window).
