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.
