The time labels displayed on x-axis should be decided in a better way. For example, on 1min charts I would like to see the vertical time lines and time labels are drawn at those times such at XX:00, XX:15, XX:30, etc.
In the current design, it seems NT just simple divide the number of bars on chart with a fixed number (depends on the bar width and font size) and draw a verticle line every a few bar so that those verticle grid lines are drawn at time points without any meaning to traders.

Please take a look at other charting software such as eSignal and Amibroker, they do a better job in terms of the vertical time grid lines.

NT7 will provide be a large improvement in charting. Thanks for the suggestions. We will add it to the list of considerations.

Please consider in NT 7 to make charts scrollable freely along the y-axis similar to using mouse to scroll the chart along x-axis.
