== Setting Scale Scaling Range ==
<br>
=== Screen Scale Scaling Range ===
The range of the Screen scale is equal to the range of the plot segment that is actually visible in the Chart Window. Scrolling the chart along the time axis, so that another plot segment, with a different range, becomes visible, will cause the range of the Screen scale to be adjusted accordingly.
# Open the '''Format Indicator''' window.<br><span>{{FormatIndicator}}</span>
# Select the '''Scaling''' tab.
# In the '''Scale Scaling Range''' section, click choose the '''Screen''' radio buttonoption from the list.

=== Entire Series Scale Scaling Range ===
The range of the Entire Series scale is equal to the range of the indicator’s entire plot, including any part of the plot that extends beyond the segment actually visible in the Chart Window. Scrolling the chart along the time axis will not cause the range of the Entire Series scale to be adjusted.
# Open the '''Format Indicator''' window.<br><span>{{FormatIndicator}}</span>

# In the '''Scale Scaling Range''' section, click choose the '''User Defined''' radio buttonoption from the list.
