aThe The '''Price Scale''' is located on the left and/or 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. <br>The Range of the Price Scale and the chart's top and bottom [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02042_FCh_ChScal_Margins.html name=""; Margins|Margins]] can be set. <br>The [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02044_FCh_ChScal_Labels.html name=""; Scale_Labels|Labels]], identifying scale's marks, can be customized.<br>
Five Price Scale range modes (scaling modes) are available:
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02041_FCh_ChScal_ScaleType.html name="1"; Scale_Range#Screen Scale Range|Screen]] <br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02041_FCh_ChScal_ScaleType.html name="2"; Scale_Range#Entire Series Scale Range|Entire Series]] <br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02041_FCh_ChScal_ScaleType.html name="3"; Scale_Range#User Defined Scale Range|User Defined]]<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02041_FCh_ChScal_ScaleType.html name="4"; Scale_Range#Movement Size Scale Range|Movement Size]]<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02041_FCh_ChScal_ScaleType.html name="5"; Scale_Range#Price Range Scale Range|Price Range]]<br>
Two Scaling Types are available (except for the '''Movement Size''' scaling mode):
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="1"; Scale_Type#Linear Scaling|Linear]]<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22Scale_Type#Semi-02043_FCh_ChScal_Axis.html name="2"; Log Scaling|Semi-Log]] <br>
Each scale range setting and scaling type offers its own advantages.
To automatically expand the range of the price scale so that it will capture all parts of the indicator:
# Open the '''Format SymbolInstruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab.
# In the '''General''' section, select '''Expand Scale to Indicators'''.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: This feature only works if the indicator's scaling range is set to '''Same as Symbol'''.</div>
When two or more data series exist in the same subchart, it is possible to overlay the data series:
# Open the '''Format SymbolInstruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab.
# In the '''General''' section, select '''Overlay Data Series'''.
By default, the price scale of the first data series is shown.
# Right-click on the price scale.
# Select the data series in the window.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Tip: Two different '''Price Scales''' can be displayed at the same time by setting the left and right price scales.</div>
