Auto sizing or autoscaling CHARTS

AmiBroker

Hi,
APologies if this is a very basic question.
WHen I change the time span say from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, or pan the charts, they get restricted vertically and its an uncofofrtable view. All other softwares I use autmatically resize the charts on panning or change of time frame so that the chart fills the whole available window or pane.

I am sure Amibroker being so versatile this too has the feature. How do I activate this?

Charts auto-size and auto-scale BY DEFAULT. You don’t need to do anything.
I don’t know where you get the software from.

Use only genuine software without any 3rd party add-ons that do nothing but harm.

LIcensed Software is genuine? I have renewed my licenses regularly.

No third party add ons.

What is it that is missing for which my charts do not resize autmatically and its a pain to keep watching many times compressed charts with a lot of space above and below the bars just vacant. Please guide.

Third party add-ons include formulas that people copy-paste without thinking. I have seen so horribly written 3rd party formulas that all hairs on your head go gray in one second.

All built-in formulas AUTO-SCALE by default !

I have used TD sequential formula recently. But this prblem of no auto scaling is even from before that. Last 3 years that I am using licensed amibroker I am surviving lack of auto scaling. Not sure if support can take over my screen using team viewer or aammy and inspect what is really missing. If this single plugin were the issue, I have removed it and checked and it still does the same problem.

Read the tutorial. We don’t provide spoon-feeding.

Thanks. Spoon feeding is a strong term.
Which part of the tutorial might have settings for checking if auto sizing is toggled on or off? I spent quite some hours today, ever since I got serious about becoming good at amibroker 5 hours ago, but couldnt find it.

Is there a toggle for auto scaling on or off? Perhaps I need to put it to on?

Funny thing is there are 4 charts open right now. AUto sizing works on 3 and not on the 4th one. All four charts have same indicators.

Perhaps on this chart given the futures roll has taken place and on prior few days data is scanty its causing issues.

Perhaps if you actually READ what someone wrote already instead of having “quick look” you would easily find the information you are looking for.
Somehow the reading ability has gone nowadays.

Reading ability is not gone.
There is copious material.
I am sorry if I am irritating you. I promise to you in 3 months time I will be one of the best champions of amirbroker.
Give me the starting point and I will chew it up all.

I’m sorry but this looks more and more similar to candid camera here trying to fool around with or even insult readers intelligence. You said that you are using AB many many years already but then you say that you started to get serious only hours ago and in your most recent post you are just at the starting point of actually reading and/or applying “something”. Something does not fit.

Anyway, how about making a video or uploading screens + inserting AFL code (via code tags) being used in your chart(s)?

But first I suggest you read following post by Tomasz once again (carefully) Auto sizing or autoscaling CHARTS IMO it tells you everything needed already to solve your issue.

To give some additional throw in… what happens if you double click on price axis? I repeat: LMB double click with mouse being on price axis. And is there some keyword called GraphXSpace located in your code? And have you really checked whether scaling option is set to automatic on all charts as per Tomasz upper picture?

Side note:
If I were you I wouldn’t be so sure about that last sentence because if you have inserted the original code of “Charts” window via double click to each chart then all your four charts have copies of the original AFL applied. Those copies are part of drag and drop folder in Formulas folder. The thing is if you edit one of those copies then the changes are not applied to all charts (having just separate copies of original file) but those changes are applied only to that one of those four charts its copy has been edited. So it may well be the case that you might have changed something in that 4th one only and leading to some behaviour…

Original AFL file from charts folder is applied via “Insert linked”. You can read about that in help file too.

I have a code tha seems to have the same problem os scaling. When I use this:

PlotOHLC( hOpen, hHigh, hLow, hClose, "Heiken" + Name(), colorLightGrey, styleCandle );
//Plot(C,"",colorblack,styleThick | styleBar,Null,Null,Null,0);
Plot(TomorowStrg,"",colorGreen,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);
Plot(TomorowShSL,"",colorRed,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);
Plot(TomorrowShTgt,"",colorGold,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);

the plot do no scale correctely, hiding some of the plot, in automatic scale.

When I turn the code to:

PlotOHLC( hOpen, hHigh, hLow, hClose, "Heiken" + Name(), colorLightGrey, styleCandle );
Plot(C,"",colorblack,styleThick | styleBar,Null,Null,Null,0);
Plot(TomorowStrg,"",colorGreen,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);
Plot(TomorowShSL,"",colorRed,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);
Plot(TomorrowShTgt,"",colorGold,styleThick | styleStaircase,Null,Null,1,1);

the auto scale works well, showing all price range. Is there a fix. I am using AB 6.38 last upgraded license, this code is the same I used in 5.50.

I do not want to show the barchart.
