Post From: Auto-scroll as new bars form

Actually, there is a way to know. There is an indicator in the bottom right of the screen that will be green or red (by default). When it is green it means that the last bar is displayed on the screen. Refer to the following information:

Thank you for that.

We do not know what you mean by this

I'll explain, below.


You can always force the chart to reset to show the last bar by selecting Chart >> Go to End of Chart, which is set to a keyboard shortcut of the End key, by default.

Thank you. Of all the suggestions you have made, they require a trader to "break focus" and either reconcentrate away from price and start clicking multiple times on my chart masthead. Then, somehow, regain refocus on the price action.

This chart setting, maintaining the last bar on the right edge, should be automatic (with an option to disable) thereby keeping the right edge constantly visible. You already provide "lock fill space" so why not make it lock & maintain fill space?

I understand people want to scroll left to look at structure but Sierra Chart can add an automatic time-out that returns to the hard right edge after a scroll left or drag/move left.

Seriously, this should be the standard operating configuration of a chart. One should not have to question or force the chart to display the most relevant data; the most current bar on the chart should be the right most bar.
