Hi Support
The other problem that never seems to get addressed is that the scaling of an indicator in MC directly affects the prices scaling i.e. the price will be compressed to see all plots on the chart.
Any thoughts when this might be fixed
Thanks Milton

Hi guys,
I actually like the way it is. I just write my indicators to only "turn on" when the price gets within so many points that I preset as an input. In the ES on a dead day, I can set that for 2 -3 points, and on a wild day I can set it for 10 points. If I always want them on, I just set them for 9999 points. I especially like it for predetermined support and resistance levels.
If the screen never scaled for the indicators that are "on", then I would never see them in time to set targets. Although I suppose if there was an option in "Format Window" for a generic "Indicator Sensitivity Offset" then that would work too.
Just my 2 cents.

Nobody ever said it should be "OFF" all the time.Hi guys,

MC should have an option to allow the chart to scale to price, not just to indicators only.

RobotMan,
it should have an option to either switch it on and off per chart.

Hi everybody,
The feature that you are talking about will be available in the upcoming 5.0 beta 3 version.
In addition to that, beta 3 will allow overlaying two symbols with different price scales. Dragging a data series on top of another will not result in a wider price scale.
Finally, it will be possible to define how many points a price scale should have above and below the latest price.
Best regards.

* Instead of points, maybe what % above or below the last price, might be a better option, since points will change with every tradeable.
p.s.- beta 3 sounds great ! when is it due ?
