Fixed Chart Scaling

[markw]

Are there any plans for being able to set the price scaling so it can be set to remain the same. I trade using the slope of moving averages so having the same scaling all the time gives me a consistant chart.



Thanks

We have this on our list for future enhancement consideration. Thanks for suggesting it.

Please please please please add this!

I'll second that request - fixed scaling is a much needed feature!

An alternative which might be simpler to add (?) would be to provide a function which returns a scaling value which you can then use in slope or other geometric calculations.

For example:

You want the slope of a line to return in degrees which more or less match the visual slope on a particular chart (or for some range).
A function like GetYScalingFactor(DataSeries) would return the value you can multiply the price value by to be in the same scale as the time series based on the range (or the chart's present scaling dimensions). Then you feed the time distance and the scaled price value to the Slope function or your own to return, say, 45 degrees, which would also be nice as it would make visual sense when double-checking your logic.

It would also be handy to have an object or functions which can return other properties about a chart, if one is active during calculations. For example, the price range of the chart and the total space range, hight of vertical dividers, etc.

Thanks for listening to my 2 pips!

Will the next NT version have fixed scaling for both price and indicators? It's really time consuming to keep manually adjusting the y-axis on some of my indicators. Otherwise, great program. Thanks!

Yes, that is our current plan.
