Hello,
it would be nice to have a scale option on chart to recenter on last price on demand (like trade DOMs)
Thanks in advance

If not possible, an automatic recenter when last price exceeds n-tick from last recenter could be a good workaround

SC already has this: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting

Nope, as far as I know, on chart DOMs recenter is based on last bars/candles, not on last price

1. Right click on scale.
2. Click “Scale Settings”
3. Select “Constant Range”.
4. Change “Constant Range Scale Mode:” to “Re-Center to Last Price On Every Update”.
5. Click Ok
6. Right click on scale.
7. Select “Interactive Scale Range”
8. Drag the mouse up or down to change the constant range of the scale so you can see the individual DOM levels.

Thanks, but the logic of recentering chart I need is quite different, I'd like an automatic recenter only when price moves a preset number of price from the last reset/recenter

Then in step 4 above select:

“Re-Center When The Last Bar Exceeds A Certain Number Of Ticks From The Center”

Instructions to set the number of ticks here: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Constant Range Scale Modes >> Re-Center When The Last Bar Exceeds A Certain Number Of Ticks From The Center

The reason I request such a feature is to continue to see liquidity above/below when the market goes up/down on a chart DOM. Recentering on every update is not viable to read a number bar based chart. Another interesting solution would be the option for scale to reset the center of scale on max/min of the last bar, for better view of price action/liquidity when approaching a price area.

In the next release when you perform a manual reset on a chart, which is using a constant range scale set to Manual Mode, it will re-center to the last trade price.
