Hello Dice2022,

Thank you for writing in.

A feature similar to this already exists.

If you double-click the little dividing link that is between columns, it will auto fit to the information in that column.

• The divider to the right of the column name dictates the size of that column when double-clicked
• If the name of the column is the longest thing, it will stretch to the size of that
• If the information within that column is longer than the name, it will stretch to fit that

It will then maintain that size unless you change the size of another column or if you drag and resize the whole window to be thinner or wider.



Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

I would never have bothered to post on this matter, but since the topic has been raised ... the sizing of columns in just about every NT8 window is "interesting". It seems almost impossible to manually size a column and only affect the adjacent column. It's almost as if every column is affected by resizing, even the auto-fit of a single column recommended by NinjaTrader_Clayton above. The frustration of trying to have columns stay at the size one has set them when resizing other columns is significant! Columns even automatically resize to be almost zero width at times. I would suggest that whatever "algorithm" is being used needs substantial refinement to make it more sensible.

Thanks.
