Select Chart >> Scale. What is the Scale Range set to? Are you using Constant Range?

Will changing to constant prevent the behavior in attached, where I wasnt able to set my sell stop at a price because value was changing?
I think its most evident at 10 seconds in, when the cursor position's price is moved down by the candle getting longer

Setting for video was interactive scale . As it is the first time I have seen this setting, any sub interactive setting is at a default level

You appear to have the Scale Range set to Constant Range and it looks like you have it re-centering on every chart update.

You should set the Scale Range to Automatic. Follow the instructions here:

Hi,

Setting was interactive scale, automatic.
Assuming this is the default, "out of the box" setting

I would like to be able to hold the cursor at a price, be able to right click and set the order, whilst current candle is being dynamic, without having to move the mouse.
I have no problem adjusting vertical scale using the right edge at those times

is constant/manual suggested in these cases?

We did look at the video and because there was a new low being made in the chart, that is why the chart automatically adjusted.

So we were mistaken that you are using a Constant Range scale. It did look like that though.

For the Scale Range use Constant Range and set the Constant Range Scale Mode to:
Keep The Last Bar Within View.

Refer to:
