So for example, if you enter a trade and it runs 100 ticks in your favor, the automatic scaling will not only include your current stop orders and limit orders, but also the original price at which you entered. If you think about it, this element is really not necessary to include in the display all the time. If we are looking at a short-term chart and we are already far away from where we entered the trade, I don't want the whole chart scaled to include my original price so that everything get squished at the top or bottom... I just want to zoom in to where it is now. Any current stop/limit orders should of course be included in the scaling (since that is important as an active order set), but the original entry price line is just an informational element and can be excluded to give us a better short-term view on certain charts. The only way to fix this now is to manually set the scale to "fixed", which means you have to constantly keep scrolling. Can you include this feature in the next release (maybe as an option if you like), so that the origjnal entry price can be hidden off the top or bottom of the chart if it falls outside of the currently visible area?

Chart trader suggestion for scaling
When you have chart trader activated on a particular chart, and when the scaling is set to Automatic, it scales the chart according to the lowest and highest data points in the currently visible set, plus the chart trader features itself. However, this also includes the entry price of your trade.
So for example, if you enter a trade and it runs 100 ticks in your favor, the automatic scaling will not only include your current stop orders and limit orders, but also the original price at which you entered. If you think about it, this element is really not necessary to include in the display all the time. If we are looking at a short-term chart and we are already far away from where we entered the trade, I don't want the whole chart scaled to include my original price so that everything get squished at the top or bottom...

Hello,
Thank you for your note.
There is an Auto-Scale function within the Chart Trader Properties that will set whether the orders are included in the scale or not.
Right click in the Chart Trader section of the Chart -> Properties -> Auto Scale field to False.
This is also looking to be improved in the next major version of NinjaTrader, and I will forward your feedback.CameronNinjaTrader Customer Service

As for the scaling, when I set it to false, I assume that it's not going to scale the stop or limit orders either, correct? Or will those still scale?

If you set the Auto Scale function to False then this will not scale Limit Orders, Stop Orders, or your Entry Price.Last edited by Trader_55; 08-08-2013, 10:27 AM.
