Hi Its possible to display charts on TWS only by Months? Right now If I select: 5yr charts automatically jumps to Week. 1yr and 6m jumps to Day, 3M jumps to 2hr. How can fix this? Thanks!
Click the time frame box directly to the right of the ticker symbol box and the drop down list offers everything from 5 sec to monthly.Click monthly. If you no longer want to see it on your favorites list click the little red dot/star and it goes away.
Yes, and I cant solve the problem. Thats why Im asking over here. I get to the drop down list but If I select Monthly, then when I switch to 5yr, 1yr, 6m the TWS goes like I said in the opener. Doesnt allow me to get what I want to be displayed. Thanks for the guidance!
You could play around with the "pink" section of the drop down menu and might find what you're looking for. When in that area the zoom function is active after clicking the "view" tab.
The page I listed gives a link to a more detailed page: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/trading-lessons/tws-chart-panel/ If you scroll down this page you'll find a section titled "Adjusting candle sizes and time periods". I believe this answers your question.
In Edit > Chart Parameters, you can change the [Time Period], and the [Preferred Time Period] for any chart.Try "Today 5m" for both, and save them as you set them. You can also set the number of bars "Show _____ bars" which will limit the lookback period. Hope that helps.
