Hi there, I installed a new instance on a new pc and I had to set everything up from scratch.

I have the "chart-->show bid and ask lines" function active on the chart.

This 2 lines have always been attached to the last bar on the chart (the current bar) however on this new instance i've installed these 2 lines stay "fixed" on the right side of the chart next to the price scale.

Is it some function I've missed or is it just some new default option?

If so, is it possible to have them back next to the last bar on the chart?

Thanks a lot,
F

Thanks for coming back to me.

No though, that's not the study I was referring to.

Under the Chart menu, there's an option that can be used called "Show bid and Ask lines".

Once flagged that option, on the chart will appear 2 small lines right to the price axis.

Until now, those 2 tiny little lines were "attached" to the right side of the last bar (current trading bar) and they moved with the chart in case you moved it.

Now that I installed the latest version of Sierra due to a crash on my old pc, when I have this option enabled, this 2 tiny lines are not attached to the last price but to the edge of the price Axis.

Please find attached a pic showing what I mean by that, you can find those 2 lines within the red circle

Is it possible to have them back next to the price bar rather than to the price axis?

Thanks a lot.
Fabio

We understand what you are referencing, but the Chart >> Show Bid and Ask Lines option has only ever shown the two small lines like you are now seeing.

The solution we gave you above will give you what you are looking for.
