Post From: Displaying Scale Range while scrolling chart

Could there not be a setting though that allows for the value to always be visible? When you look at a chart, your brain always has to do a calculation to figure out this range. (ie. for ES, low is 4630, high is 4670, so range is around 40). But this means that you're spending time to figure this out. If the market is moving fast, especially if you have the scale range set to automatic, you have no idea high wide the range is.

Actually, I just tested it, and when you use the automatic range setting in this new version, you don't even see the scale range value as you compress or expand it by clicking on the scale and holding it as you slide up and down. There is no value visible to tell you how wide the scale is, and you have to look at the high and low numbers and do the calculation in your head to figure this out yourself.

I think being able to always see this value is important. On the bottom scale, which is usually time, there is a very clear indication of this scale. (ie. 0, 1, 2, etc) You don't have to count the bar spacing yourself, the value is there to tell you. So I think the Y axis should also have the option to always have a value visible.
