sorry to trouble you but I have not been able to find how to change size of chart regions when you have 3 or more regions in 1 chart.
thanks

Hi,

is it possible to set the default setting so that, for example, region 1 (with the price) had a size of e.g. 10 cm, and region 2 ( e.g. with Stochastic) had e.g. 5 cm in size ?
I would like to set it all so that after printing a given print screen the sizes of the above-mentioned regions would have the same height (at the moment I have different sizes e.g. on the futures contract in different time scales, not to mention different chartbooks for different values.
I had everything manually similarly set, but it still crashes for me .... especially when drawing, marking Fibonacci geometry .... where I inadvertently drive my mouse over a volume region and then it shifts.

Thank you in advance for your help

There is not a way to do what you want as a default.

We are a bit concerned over your statement that "it still crashes for me". Are you having Sierra Chart shutdown unexpectedly on you? Can you give us the workflow that makes this occur?

I meant that working in region 1 I set fibonacci geometry from the bottom to the top often move the line between region 1 and 2.
This is caused by the fact that the candles at the bottom in region 1 are very close to this line and thus it is moved.
In my previous program (Amibroker) I did not have such a problem. In Amibroker if you hovered over the line between region 1 and 2 the shape of the mouse changed, for example, from the pointer to the move up, move down symbol - this causes me to practically never accidentally move the "line between regions".

And such a solution is natural for me, maybe in sierra chart is also such a tool available ?

Unless you can change something in the settings so that the price candles in region 1 do not reach the very border of regions 1 and 2 ?

... apply some kind of lower margin for price candles ?

The setting you want is the following, that will not allow the region to be changed in the main graphics area:
Chart Drawing Tools: Adjust Regions Tool Always Active With Current Tool (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options)

When the above is set to "No", you can still adjust the regions in the scale on the right. Refer to the following:
Working With Charts: Adjusting the Height of Chart Regions By Using the Values Scale
