Different strokes Version........My monitors are full. Charts on my left two and my trading platform on the right. When trading starts I want my full attention on the platform and managing my trades. I do not want to have to mess with my charts at all other than having to glance at them occasionally. QT is a good package. There are a lot of things I like about it and that is why I keep bugging them. Of course I am speaking from an intraday perspective. I imagine autoscaling for longer term trades works fine.

In order to further clarify, though in a strong trend the price will be pegging near the top or bottom of the chart, the tail end of the data, at the other end of the chart will be going off the chart if it exceeds the point spread rather than squeezing the data to keep it on the chart. I can see where this would be a real challenge to set up because you also need it to be chart specific. This is probably asking too much for a free package but perhaps you could have different subscriber levels.

QuoteTracker only keeps the amount of data specified by the user
(1-hour, 2-hours, ect.) on the chart. That is why you see data from
an hour ago (or two, whatever) slip off the chart. If you have QT
set for "current day" it will keep all data on the chart. It is the same
for 2-10 days of course.
Doesn't have anything to do with a "free" package since QT isn't
free to paying customers. And for those who do not pay, you get
the luxury of watching advertisements. This I would not call free either.
With data and backfill from IQFeed at $25 and $5 per month from
QT and $10 a month from IB (if you don't have $30 a month in
commissions) it can actually theoretically cost the same as Ensign
in the $40 area.

am filling in... he doesn't know this... and when he finds out... I will
be in big trouble)...
96? Perhaps, but how many of them are really different? Here is one example: On Balance Volume, On Balance Volume - Cumulative, OBV with Moving Average. They are listed as different by the SC manual. This is essentially one indicator with different inputs or some overlay. In some more sophisticated softwares it would be one indicator. Same with pivot points. I would say that SC has more old 'boring' indicators, while QT is trying to keep them more modern. Fortunately, we have Kiwi that tries to make SC more hip ...

Just a minute electron. You pulled that last post about kiwi being
able to take CMX's stuff from QT and putting it into Sierra....
I will have to warn CMX so you can't do this!
Not a problem for me... I can always use QT as it is free and have used it from time to time in the past.
But SC charts are cooler. You somehow cannot get QT charts to be as black as SC charts...

Hmmm.... black.... well I guess SC is the winner here. But QT has
a better looking light blue background!...
