No idea - that would be dependent on the datafeed. Is this for IB? If so, what is the root symbol and EXCHANGE that is shown in TWS? Also, what is the exact symbol shown on the end of the DESCRIPTION column?

We have added the sliding and absolute scaling options to the intraday charts:

PLEASE NOTE - this is work in progress. Some user interface things in regards to the scale stuff will probably change. We do want your input, suggestions, things you find annoying or hard to deal with, etc. regarding it.

I find the constantly changing y-axis price grid increment annoying. This is particularly apparent on charts displaying less than 40-50 bars.

That is, it's distracting to have to adapt to seeing the scale change from
1196.00, 1196.25, 1196.50, 1196.75
to
1196.00, 1197.50,1198.00
then back to
1196.00, 1196.25, 1198.50, 1198.75

This has been the case even before the new scaling features were introduced - using Absolute and Sliding (or showing many more bars on the chart) can minimize this irritation, but frequent adjustments are still required.

I suggest an addition option: A user defined "grid-range"

Have the current price always centered between the upper and lower chart borders.
Previous price bars would still paint above or below the horizontal boundaries of the chart if they were outside the range of the current y-axis scaling, just as they do now with either Absolute or Sliding scales.
The horizontal grids would still always be a constant distance apart... except that the scale would always be an unchanging price difference apart .

(Example: The S&P e-mini trades in increments of $0.25 so the user might select a grid separation of twenty five cents. QT would fill the vertical axis using that increment to fit the the horizontal grids and thus the price levels. [prices would always be ascending/descending around current price at the vertical axis’ centerline in 25 cent increments])

This might be problematic when the user changed the frequency/period of the current chart, but for those of us that do not do that, a "price/grid-range setting" could be very useful...
 
Perhaps...though I had Sliding Window selected on both (2h/3m) and a (45b/233tks) charts and I am almost
certain I saw the price scale increment change from 25 cents to 50 cents throughout the day...plus the current price
does move toward the upper part of the chart, or the lower, depending on trending...version 3.5.8f

thats supposed to happen. QT centers the range, around the center point of the visible data (plus adjustments to make sure the LAST fits in). Its not centered around the LAST
