question about equal bar spacing on dual chart

[SinatraFan]

is it possible to have equal bar spacing when having a 400 tick and 800 tick bar on the same window of the same symbol??? if so, what do I need to do? when I open the properties, the option is greyed out. what am i doing wrong? thanks

Hello SinatraFan,


Thank you for your forum post.


Unfortunately this is expected behavior.

"Equidistant bar spacing" will automatically be set to false when mixing more than one series.

What this does is creates a time axis that is void of any missing bars so that mixed series of any type can all be accurately aligned to time. When this property is set to true, bars have even space between them and missing time bars are excluded.

You don't have access to change this when there is more than one series applied to the chart - having 1 min and 5 min on the same chart for example.


Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance.

Is there any way to hide a chart? I only have the chart on for the purpose of an indicator and would like to hide the slow candle chart but still view the indicator which is on a seperate panel. thanks

Hello SinatraFan,

Thank you for the information.


You can set the data series to be transparent which will in effect hide the data series from appearing on the chart:

• Right mouse click on the chart background > Data series...
• Select the data series in the left hand corner and then edit the parameters on the right hand side.
• Change the Candle outline, Wick, Color for down bars and Color for up bars to "Transparent"
• Click "OK" when finished.

Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance.
