Hi, i read the section about the "Numbers bars calculated values" (Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Calculated Values Input Descriptions), but i'm having trouble scaling the numbers bottom. I have a few settings like Delta, pos, neg Delta etc. and i would like to for example vertically make the box higher to be able to see the numbers better and also make it a big bigger in genereal under my footprint chart. Is there an option to scale it?

Also in general i like the automatic scale on the chart option at first, but then when i click on independent to scale it freely from a certain area, it goes back to automatic and jumps all over the place when i zoom in. I read about the autoset range; but then the chart somehow disappeared. Is there a way to keep the "independent" scaling option on?

Could someone please help me out?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
This zone is called a Region and there is a hidden cursor you can drag and drop to scale it as you need.
This cursor is at the bottom right of your chart (see attachec pic). It will show up when your mouse is over it.
Before scaling the Region, make sure your scale is not locked (right clic on the scale and select Interactive Scale Move or Interactive Scale Range)

Constant Range scale is the way to go is you use a Number Bars chart.

The documentation for how to change the size of a region is here:
Working With Charts: Chart Window and Regions

--

The "Independent" scaling option is for secondary studies that are in a region with either the Main Price Graph or another Study. This allows that other study to be displayed without a reference to the actual scale that is showing. You do not use this for the Main Price Graph, as it is not really going to give you what you want, as it is going to act like it is set to "Automatic" but other studies will be incorrect.

You need to find the Scaling option that works best for you for what you are doing. As mentioned above, Constant Range is a good option for Numbers Bars, but there are other settings as well that you may like - you need to work with them to see how they function and determine what you like best. Refer to the information for the various scaling options at the following link:
