Hi,

When I try to drag the mouse and the price it only allows for scrolling from left to right and not also up and down simultaneously. Is there a possibility to make a 'diagonal' type of scrolling possible?

Awaiting your response.

You need to use the Hand Tool to do this and you need to set the option for "Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Support Vertical Movement/Scaling with Hand Tool" to "Yes". Refer to the following:

Very nice thank you.

I have one final question regarding open interest. I read in the manual that:

Open Interest is only available for Historical Daily data type of charts, not Intraday charts. Therefore, the study only makes sense on Historical Daily data type of charts.

When used on an Intraday chart, it will give the same values as the Number of Trades study.


However the OI from intraday yesterday and looking at the same OI a day later appears to not have changed or been adjusted. How can I quantify when it becomes open interest instead of number of trades? Or does it mean I have to manually redownload the chart data to have it adjust.

Also does the possibility exist to get live OI data? Or is there no such option even when getting additional market data feeds subscriptions.

Also you might have reasons to not have SC come out of the box with the vertical movement/scaling option. But just a suggestion that it might be nice to have it set by default already.

Open interest data is never going to be available on Intraday charts

It is also not available in real time either.
