To share grids between charts Page 113 Used with overlaid charts in auto scale mode. When selected, verticals scales on overlaid charts line up, so that major demarcations are directly across from each other. 1. Right-click the price scale. 2. Click Share Grids. To share the same scale between charts Used with overlaid charts. When selected, the same scale is used for both charts. If not selected, the scale for the foreground chart is used, and the background chart is laced on top of it. 1. Right-click the price scale. 2. Click Same Scale. To automatically scale with and without studies Rescaling allows the system to fit the chart and associated studies and conditions in the space available on the chart window. It ensures, by rescaling, that as the market changes, all bars, conditions, and study values are displayed in the window. If you opt to rescale without study, it fits the chart in the space available while ignoring studies. In this way, the view of bars is optimized even if that means studies are not visible in the chart window. 1. Right-click the price scale. 2. Click Auto Scale or Auto Scale without Studies (only present when study is applied to chart). Notice in this image that the bottom chart has the display of the bars optimized: Charting and Studies User Guide
