Diminishing the movement of the chart in automatic scaling

Hello,

with the current price line and scale set to automatic, the price chart moves around a lot during price movement which messes with trying to place a limit order at specific places. Is there a way to turn this movement off or make the chart more stationary outside of when a new high or low is made? in essence, I don't want it moving at all outside of when price goes off of the chart and it has to re-adjust

The scale settings we recommend for what you are wanting is the following:
- Scale Range: Constant Range
- Constant Range Scale Mode: Re-Center when the Last Price Exceeds a Certain Number of Ticks from Center

The number of ticks is something you will have to determine for yourself and enter in the "Ticks from Center" field.

Refer to the following for more information on these options:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Constant Range (Scale Range)
