Be aware that if the price difference between the last two visible bars is greater than the range of the scale, then both bars potentially could end up off the top and bottom edges of the chart, which could give the appearance of a blank chart. Q: if the last bar is manually moved away from the center, then where are the edges and how are they determined? |

If you have a Constant Range chart and you manually move the scale, the total range is going to stay the same, but the top and bottom will be offset by the amount of the move. For example, if you have a range of 20 where the top is at 100 and the bottom is at 80 and you move it down by 2 points, then the top will be at 102 and the bottom at 82. As you scroll the chart, however, with the Constant Range Scale Mode set to Keep Last Bar within View, it is going to shift the scale up/down in order to keep the bar at the far right within view and as close to the same location as possible.

Thank you John, and I wish I would have just edited my reply post instead of deleting it, so I hope I still have some support credits for this issue and my other issue with the retracement configuration. In order for me to configure all charts to accommodate them to the information, then I have to go through 15 chartbooks with 16 charts each. My understanding in how to perform this operation would be to first change all the scale settings and then scroll back to the beginning, double click to recenter price, and then scroll forward to the end. The challenge begins though when changing something to the chart. Not all changes make this happen, but when, then price will automatically recenter and therefore result in the possibility of price action being outside of the visible boundaries which would then require action to correct. Initially, not all charts will need to go through this process. It is a lot of work though when working with multiple charts and many chartbooks with that kind of limitation. Certainly, I will have to do it, but the flexibility is greatly limited. Lastly, I know I am no VIP and only pay for a basic package, but maybe it is worth considering the above issue.

We are not sure exactly what you are asking about, so let's approach this a different way. What exactly do you want to accomplish? How do you want the scaling to act for you? We may have a set of settings that will work, but we need to understand what you are looking for.

I can recall having the same problem with recentering after price has deviated so many ticks from the center, but it was some time ago and as far as I can determine now, it is working ok since I have tried it out recently. I use version 2196. I just discovered the setting "constant range scale recenter on interactive scaling change" in the scaling settings to automatically recenter after any changes to the chart. After removing the tick, there is no recentering after making any changes to any chart. Regarding the recentering of price during the opening of the chartbook: my focus is to open up 15 chartbooks with 16 charts without having to adjust anything to see the entire scope of price action as it was when I closed the chartbooks. The position of price on the charts when I closed should be the same as when I open them again. What happens though when opening, the charts are automatically recentered. Maybe there is a setting I have to discover. I have attached an example of a chart after opening- http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1607813214575.png |

When you open the chart, it is going to download any missing data and then display the most recent bar in the chart. That bar is then centered according to the scaling rules that you have setup for the chart.

understood, but I find no setting indicating price should be recentered after missing data has been downloaded and then displayed.

It's going to use the settings you have set for the Scaling at that time. What are your Scale Settings for the main price graph?

Therefore it is going to make sure that the last bar is in view when it loads the charts and updates the missing data. Is there some other behavior that you want to occur?

When I close my chartbooks for the day, then my charts should show price where I left off when I open them up again. This happens. When I connect and SC finishes downloading and begins displaying, then the "position" of the last bar in view of the prior session should be the basis with consideration of the prior center for the new data to be displayed in accordance with scale settings. I can imagine, this would mean the price for the center of the prior session has to somehow be retained in order to use it for the basis of new data being displayed in accordance to scale settings. It would be easiest for me, considering the amount of chartbooks and charts, to be able to rely upon price always being displayed within my scale settings regardless of downloading. I believe your "make sure" means the chart is being reset and price recentered. I understand if there is no solution by means of settings, then I am ok with it. I know SC is prioritized towards stability, so I will deal with it accordingly. |

Yes, the chart is being reset and the price is recentered. There is no way to change this behavior.
