when the stock price moves quickly, I frequently find the number bars dont automatically center showing the latest price...and I have to constantly drag them into position(via Interactive Scale Move on the price scale) to see the last price...How do I fix this issue?

Scale Range is set to Automatic. Pls see the attached image, where the bottom part of the footprint bar is not visible when the price was there.

Thanks

One of the things to keep in mind is that with any of the scaling options, as soon as you modify the scale up/down the system is going to respect that movement. So you would have to "Reset" the scales to get them back to automatically adjusting based on the bars themselves.

The other option is to use one of the "Constant Range" options, which might give you a bit more of what you want, but again, when you manually make a change, you would have to reset the scales. Refer to the following:

I'm trying the Constant Range now, that you suggested..seems to keep the last price in view.

The reason why I had to manually intervene to adjust the scale or move is becos, either the bars get too compressed making numbers impossible to read(like shown in attachment) or goes outside of the view when the prices moves too quickly, esp during the open. Even with Constant range and Price scale reset, the numbers look like that.

So for now, have set to Constant Range , Reset & Lock and Interactive Scale Lock. See what happens when the price expands beyond this range.

Thanks
