Five types of Price Scale Range can be used: Screen, Entire Series, User Defined, Price Range, and Movement Size. | |||
<br> | |||
== Screen Scale Range == | |||
The range of the price scale is equal to the range of the data series that's visible on the chart. | |||
The price scale will adjust automatically if the user scrolls to another part of the data series. | |||
<br> | |||
=== Setting Screen Scale Range === | |||
Scale range can be set from the '''Format Symbol''' window: | |||
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span> | |||
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Range''' list box, select '''Screen'''. | |||
# Select the '''Use Margins''' check box to set a margin between the plot and the chart’s upper and lower borders. | |||
# Enter numbers in the '''Top Margin %''' box and '''Bottom Margin %''' box to define the top margin and bottom margins. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Type''' section | |||
select [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="1"; |Linear]] | |||
or [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="2"; |Semi-Log]]. | |||
# Select the '''Center Last Price''' check box to center the last price of the data series in the middle of the price scale. | |||
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: To use these scaling settings for all new charts, check '''Use as Default''' check box.</div> | |||
<br> | |||
== Entire Series Scale Range == | |||
The range of the price scale is equal to the range of the entire data series, including parts of the | |||
data series not currently shown on the chart. Since the range of the price scale is that of the entire | |||
data series, the range of the price scale will not change if the user scrolls to another part of the data | |||
series. | |||
<br> | |||
=== Setting Entire Series Scale Range === | |||
Scale range can be set from the '''Format Symbol''' window: | |||
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span> | |||
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Range''' list box, select '''Entire Series'''. | |||
# Select the '''Use Margins''' check box to set a margin between the plot and the chart’s upper and lower borders. | |||
# Enter numbers in the '''Top Margin %''' box and '''Bottom Margin %''' box to define the top margin and bottom margins. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Type''' section select [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="1"; | Linear ]] or [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="2"; | Semi-Log ]]. | |||
# Select the '''Center Last Price''' check box to center the last price of the data series in the middle of the price scale. | |||
</ol> | |||
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: To use these scaling settings for all new charts, check '''Use as Default''' check box.</div> | |||
<br> | |||
== User Defined Scale Range == | |||
The range of the price scale is defined manually. Any part of the data series that falls outside of | |||
the defined range will not be displayed in the Chart Window. | |||
<br> | |||
=== Setting User Defined Scale Range === | |||
Scale range can be set from the '''Format Symbol''' window: | |||
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span> | |||
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Range''' list box, select '''User Defined'''. | |||
# In the '''Maximum''' box, enter the maximum value of the range. | |||
# In the '''Minimum''' box, enter the minimum value of the range. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Type''' section | |||
select [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="1"; |Linear]] | |||
or [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="2"; |Semi-Log]]. | |||
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: User Defined scale range can not be used as a default.</div> | |||
<br> | |||
== Movement Size Scale Range == | |||
The range of the price scale is defined manually. The scale will be based on the number of | |||
points within a unit of length. For example, the user can specify that each inch of the price | |||
scale represents 10 points. | |||
<br> | |||
=== Setting Movement Size Scale Range === | |||
Scale range can be set from the '''Format Symbol''' window: | |||
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span> | |||
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Range''' list box, select '''Movement Size'''. | |||
# Enter a unit length. | |||
# Select either inches or centimeters in the drop-down box. | |||
# Enter the number of points that the unit of length in Step 4 will represent. | |||
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: To use these scaling settings for all new charts, check '''Use as Default''' check box.</div> | |||
<br> | |||
== Price Range Scale Range == | |||
The range of the price scale is defined manually. The range of the scale will be based on the | |||
number of points above and below the Last Price Marker. For example, if the last price market | |||
is at 100, the user can specify that the range of the scale will be 20 points above and 20 points below | |||
the Last Price Marker (i.e., 120 to 80) | |||
<br> | |||
=== Setting Price Range Scale Range === | |||
Scale range can be set from the Format Symbol window: | |||
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span> | |||
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab. | |||
# In the '''Scaling Range''' list box, select '''Price Range'''. | |||
# In the '''Above''' box, enter the number of points above the Last Price Marker. This is the maximum value of the range. | |||
# In the '''Below''' box enter the number of points below the Last Price Marker. This is the minimum value of the range. | |||
