Automatically move chart to the current time after some time

[pmatrading]

Hello,

Is there a way to get the charts moved automatically to the right position of the window, i.e displaying the current bar ?

I'm often misleaded bcause I moved back to history and forgot to move the chart back to the right (usually using the "end" keyboard key)

It would be nice to have an general option for this, with the number of seconds before moving back to live action as parameter, or an indicator to to so.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Pascal

Hello pmatrading,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, to move your chart back to the current bar, you either press the arrow in the top right-hand corner of the chart or if you are in a fixed position all you need to do is click the [F] also located in the top right-hand corner of the chart. Below I have left you a link to our help guide on navigating a chart.

Hello Sean,

thanks for your reply.

is there any Ninjascript command to do the same ? I would like to create an indicator that would automaticlaay do that after a given period of time since the chart was moved back in time.

I'm looking for the same functionality. I would attempt to create an indicator if I had a general idea of what functions were needed in a script.

Hello Pascal and retireoneday,

Thanks for your notes.

There are currently no NinjaScript methods or properties available to programmatically move the chart window to the current bar forming.

We are tracking interest in the ability to programmatically move a chart to a certain location in an existing feature request ticket and I have added your votes to this feature request.

This feature request is being tracked under the number SFT-5439.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted on the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.
