Hello, Is there a way I can lock the scale of the Volume (plotted in region 2) so it stops moving up and down by accident, while keeping the ability to move my main graph (region 1) in all the directions (I have Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Support Vertical Movement/Scaling with Hand Tool enabled) ?

Right-click on the y-axis of Region 2 and choose Scale Range: Constant Range.

Hello, It's not working, no matter which option I select (Manual mode, Keep the last bar...), I am still able to move the volume up and down. Volume is the only study I have on my chart and the scale settings of the study itself is "Same as Region". The "Automatic Zero-Based" from the right-click on y-axis does keep the bars from moving up and down but then they also resize all the time on scrolling which I don't want, I want to keep the same range (0 to 15000).

Choose 'User Defined', and set Top of Range to 15000, and Bottom of Range to 0.

It's not working for me, still moving up and down. Btw, of course in tools settings I have vertical movements allowed with the hand tool and I want keep it because I always move my main chart up and down.

See attached for the settings I'm using. With these settings: - The Volume range stays the same when scrolling. - The Hand tool can move both the Main Price Graph and the Volume study in all directions. - The Hand tool only moves in the region where the cursor is. You can recenter each region with a double-click in its y-axis.

Thank you for you help but what you describe is what I had from the beginning. I wanted to lock only the volume so it stops moving by accident up and down every time I click on that region, like with the "Automatic Zero-Based" but not resizing on scroll. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-04-11 15:16:05

I've got similar settings and when the chart in Region 1 is interactively moving horizontally & vertically, Region 2 will only scale horizontally (vertical is locked). Region 2 will only scale in both directions if I click in that specific region and move it around. I don't believe you can lock Interactive Scale Move specifically to a region.
