autoscaling - horisontal lines etc.

[highasakite]

What does the autoscale option mean/do when I´m for example add a horisontal line on the chart?

highasakite, if you set this to 'true' the lines would be included in the Y Axis scale range at all times.

So, without any indicators, the chart adjusts so you can see all the prices right? (unless you are using NT7 and the chart is fixed) Well the same thing happens when you add an indicator to the chart if you set the autoscale....the chart automatically adjusts to show the indicator values.

Thanks!

So if there were an autoscale option on pivots, all pivot lines from say R1 to R5 would be visable?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Correct, just set autoScale to true for the Pivots indicator then to include R1 - R5 and S1 - S5.

Using 6.5 I'm having a problem with one of my charts where the data is squashed down into the lower part of the chart -- see image. The dragging option in the Y axis doesn't improve it much. As you can see the upper area is blank so I'm not sure why Ninja is setting the scale this way. I didn't have this problem with this chart until recently. The only thing I can think is that with the big moves last week that data is somehow still influencing the scale even though it is not visible on the chart??? How can I zoom in more on the lower part of the chart? The zoom tool did not seem to have any effect.
Thx

Please check if there are any drawings with autoScale = true still somewhere hidden at very low visibility - you could right click on the chart > remove drawing objects to clear all out. Then recheck if the scaled range normalizes.

When I changed the settings on the Swing lines to not be auto scale that fixed the problem thanks!

Would be nice if the auto scale only applied if the data was on the chart -- the program must have been looking at lines that were from last week which were not visible.
