The '''Price Scale''' is located on the left or/and on the right side of the chart and consists of a vertical '''Line''' with marks, indicating values, and identified by '''Labels'''. The values on the scale are specific to the symbol or indicator plotted on the chart. The scale represents the value range, within which the chart is plotted. To determine the value of a point on a chart, the vertical position of the point is referenced to a value on the Price Scale.
Price Scale Line and Label styles can be set, or Price Scale and Labels can be hidden completely.
