Hello, I haven't found a way to set permanently the volume region height so I don't have to do that for every chart. I'd like it to be 1/5 of the whole chart height approximately. Also, I'd like to set the Constant range quickly but this would change for every chart depending on its time frame. Finally, I'd like to create shortcuts for both these settings. How can I do that? Thanks.

Once the height of the Chart Region is set, it does not need to be changed again. You can then duplicate the chart for new charts: Using Chart Templates Keyboard shortcuts are supported to change the Scale Range Type: Global Settings Menu: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Settings menu) There is no way to change the specific constant range value though based on the time frame.

Ok, it seems that the volume region height gets memorized in a study collection. If so I'm fine like that. About the constant range, what I'd like to do is a control bar button shortcut, not a keyboard shortcut. Sorry for haven't been clear. Any way to set it via ACSIL?

There is a Control Bar option to set the Scale to Constant Range. It is under the Chart section. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Yes, I've found it but if I'm not mistaken it sets an already defined range. What I'd like is to set the range value without to do so many clicks. Is it possible?

The only way to set the range "Value" would be to bring up the Scale Window. There is not a shortcut or control bar option to bring up the Scale window. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Right, the reason of my question is that I have to set the Constant Range Value on 15 to 20 charts every day. Please imagine to click on "Chart, Chart Settings, Scale, Scale (value), Constant Range" and set its value 15 to 20 times in a row, before the market opens. I hope your team will consider to make at least a control bar option available. Thank you so much.
