I want a chart to have a "gutter" above or below the intraday price action but keep recent activity more or less centered "in the yard" too. Let me see if I can make this short and sweet. Scale Settings, Scale Range, Constant Range, Constant Range Scale Mode: Re-Center to the last bar on every update. The Setting of Interest is this: "Re-Center to the last bar on every update". Is there a way to assign a Re-Center-"Range"? In other words I want to re-center to a Range wider than just to the dead center. I want to re-center to a range that could be designated as maybe "Within XX Percent from the center" based on the radio button Constant Range > Range setting. So for this we could make the Constant Range > Range setting to be 1.00. Additionally we could then set the "Within A Range Of" setting to be 20%. So in practice this would allow a Re-Center to a Range that would vary by the selected percent value to either side of center. Price will "wander" north of center sometimes and south of center sometimes - by a prescribed amount. Re-Center movement would occur only if price exceeded that 20% AND only to that 20% boundary, Not to dead center. Conversely, price would need to exceed the opposite boundary before any re-center activity would occur. The hoped for effect is to allow a "gutter" above or below the price action but keep everything "in the yard" too. Does that make sense? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-12-17 18:51:09

We have something close to this, which is to use a Constant Range chart and set the Constant Range Scale Mode to Re-center When the Last Bar Exceeds a Certain Number of Ticks From the Center, then enter the number of ticks you want in the Ticks from Center field, and if you want it to slowly recenter, then you can enter a value in the Adjust Interval field. There is not option that allows for the recenter to go to an amount above or below the current value. It always recenters to the last price. Refer to the following for more information on these settings: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Constant Range Scale Modes >> Re-Center When The Last Bar Exceeds A Certain Number Of Ticks From The Center For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I understand. Is it conceivable that the "Ticks from Center" number setting might offer a "Percent from Center" option someday? It is tedious to repeatedly figure Percent = ?ticks across various products on the fly. If Santa could put this request on the 'List' and get to it someday, that'd be great too.

We have added this as a Feature Request, but we do not know when we will be able to get to it.
