Adjusting a chart in the fixed scaling area...

[Alfred]

Where you have a spike up or down in a chart (from bad data or for whatever reason)...in the example below (screen shot 1) there is a spike up in volume...in the right margin fixed scaling area you may want to be able to pull the top of the chart down to temporarily hide the spike so that you can see what is going on in rest of the volume data in the chart...but the way it is now, when you try to hide the spike by adjusting with the right margin fixed scale area it can push the data off the chart on the bottom (screen shot 2 below)....you really want to be able to adjust just the chart top or bottom separately in the fixed scaling area. Have the top third area of the margin allow adjusting the top of the chart...the middle third area could still adjust the both top and bottom at once as it is now, and the bottom third area could adjust the bottom area only. In screen shot 3 you can get an idea of how that if one could have hidden the spike by adjusting the top only one would get a better view or whats going on in the chart...

Thanks...:)

Hello Alfred,

Thank you for your post and suggestion. I will forward this to our development team for future considerations.

If you would like to edit a Volume spike this can be done within the Historical Data Manager. I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over Editing Data.

Forgot to mention...being able to adjust the top or bottom areas seperately would make it easier to look at graphic chart target areas above or below the chart and still maintain a good overall vertical scale for the chart...and also may make it easier to place orders when a chart is at an extremity...

Thanks...
