No idea - that would be dependent on the datafeed. Is this for IB? If so, what is the root symbol and EXCHANGE that is shown in TWS? Also, what is the exact symbol shown on the end of the DESCRIPTION column?
whoops. Sorry yes I am using IB and the root symbol:WR2 exchange:EUREXUS description:FWR2 MAR 05 I think I see where you are going with this.
I find the constantly changing y-axis price grid increment annoying. This is particularly apparent on charts displaying less than 40-50 bars. That is, it's distracting to have to adapt to seeing the scale change from 1196.00, 1196.25, 1196.50, 1196.75 to 1196.00, 1197.50,1198.00 then back to 1196.00, 1196.25, 1198.50, 1198.75 This has been the case even before the new scaling features were introduced - using Absolute and Sliding (or showing many more bars on the chart) can minimize this irritation, but frequent adjustments are still required. I suggest an addition option: A user defined "grid-range" Have the current price always centered between the upper and lower chart borders. Previous price bars would still paint above or below the horizontal boundaries of the chart if they were outside the range of the current y-axis scaling, just as they do now with either Absolute or Sliding scales. The horizontal grids would still always be a constant distance apart... except that the scale would always be an unchanging price difference apart . (Example: The S&P e-mini trades in increments of $0.25 so the user might select a grid separation of twenty five cents. QT would fill the vertical axis using that increment to fit the the horizontal grids and thus the price levels. [prices would always be ascending/descending around current price at the vertical axisâ centerline in 25 cent increments]) This might be problematic when the user changed the frequency/period of the current chart, but for those of us that do not do that, a "price/grid-range setting" could be very useful...
maybe I am misunderstanding something, but isn't what you are describing handled by the Sliding Scale option?
Perhaps...though I had Sliding Window selected on both (2h/3m) and a (45b/233tks) charts and I am almost certain I saw the price scale increment change from 25 cents to 50 cents throughout the day...plus the current price does move toward the upper part of the chart, or the lower, depending on trending...version 3.5.8f
Phenomenal program -- exceptional support. i want to meet these Medved guys and thank them! gone2clover@yahoo.com
thats supposed to happen. QT centers the range, around the center point of the visible data (plus adjustments to make sure the LAST fits in). Its not centered around the LAST
