My charts are set so pre-market candles don't appear.
On the price scale however, the current price keeps updating during pre-market hours.

I would like the vertical scale of the charts to also update with the current price, so the current price remains visible at all times without first scrolling up or down.
For example, let's say a symbol closed at $100 yersterday. It's currently at $115 during its pre-market hours. $115 is out of the chart's vertical scale because the symbol hasn't been there yet, so when I open the chart I have no idea where it is. I have to take a guess whether it's moved up or down, then scroll to eventually see it. It would be faster and better if the chart opened with an already adjusted verticality.

Is it possible?

You would want to use the "Constant Range" scaling with one of the Constant Range Scale Modes to re-center to the Last Price. Refer to the following:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Constant Range (Scale Range)

In particular, we would recommend using the "Re-Center When The Last Price Exceeds A Certain Number Of Ticks From The Center".

NOTE: We are not sure this will work when there are not bars associated with the actual Last Price. But try and see.
