IB TWS dragging target order on chart

This is a huge oversight in functionality on IB'S part.

Why in the hell would you scale the chart as I'm in the middle of sliding an order around?

 

an auto scaled chart constantly drops the oldest bar, which rescales the chart when the oldest bar was the lowest or highest displayed one.

 

You don't understand... The charts scale to fit and display all your orders. There's no way to disable this. And then as you slide an order around it scales the chart. So you get this weird and the dangerous exponentially scaling chart that scales faster as you move your order

 

in case you are dragging the order on a chart which is outscaled to be able to display the order you are on the wrong timeframe

 

Says you. Doesn't change the fact that the charts shouldn't behave this way

 

it is intentionally so, TWS with all its minimalist features, goodies and "shortcomings" promotes the "classic" trading school, enables you, builds your capabilities to be able to think, view and trade intuitively
it's never written anywhere, never will be

 

Very poetic of you. But it's all gibberish what you just said and has nothing to do with the bug being discussed.

 

it's no bug, you will undestand that after ten thousand hours

 

You're saying the charts scaling at uncontrollable speed as you slide an order and in turn making your order move uncontrollably making where you drop it unpredictable ISN'T a bug? Lol... Ok... Good luck to you then lol

 

exactly

you are trying to trade the wrong intrsument on the wrong timeframe in desperate.
