Hi, is there a way of easily shrinking a chart, for example I have a chart going back to 1997 and want to be able to shrink itso can see most of it on the screen?

There is a limit to how much data you will be able to see on the screen at one time. The limit is hit when each bar is 1 pixel wide. We do not do any removing of data or interpolation in order to allow for more data to be seen at one time, as you may be missing the information you are looking for in this case. Refer to the following for how to change the chart bar spacing: Working With Charts: Changing Bar Spacing If you are unable to fit all the data on the screen when you have the spacing set to the minimal amount, then you would need to change your Time Frame for the chart to a larger time frame to fit more data. Refer to the following: Changing Chart Bars Period For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

We need to know the exact name of the specific tab. Are you referring to the Session Times tab in the Chart Settings window?

You need to set the Chart Data Type setting also on that same tab to "Intraday Chart" and then click the A button.

No not at all. Updating will not cause any of your configuration or Chartbooks to be lost.
