Keeping number of days constant.

[Trader17]

When I change the time frame on a chart I notice it changes the number of days of data to be displayed also. How do I prevent this so I do not need to go back every time and change the number of days back to what I want?
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for posting to the forum.
You may set defaults for your charts.
Here is an example:
Open you data series. Right click within chart>Data series.
Say we are on the 1 minute chart. Its days to load by default = 10 for me. Now switching to the daily setting, its days to load setting = 365.
Set the type to minute and set days to load to 365.
Now click 'Preset minute' at the bottom right of the data series window and click save.
Now you can switch between the daily chart and 1 minute chart and they will load the same amount of days each time.
Refer to this section of the help guide on saving chart templates:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thanks. So after I click on preset do I click on save also after that?
Thanks.
