Dear Support Team, Is there any option to limit the loaded candle numbers on the chart below the daily limit. Let say I want to limit my 5 min chart to just to show the last 12 candles. Is this possible somehow. I could not found it anywhere, just the date range and the day limit. Thank you for your answer. Regards Peter B |

As noted, there is not a direct way to do this, but you can make the other bars disappear by coloring them the same as the background. The easiest way to do this would be to use the Spreadsheet Study and enter the following formula in cell K3: =IF(ROW() > 15, 1, 0) Then use a "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study where the alert formula is the following: =ID1.SG1 Where ID1 is the ID of the Spreadsheet Study and SG1 is the first subgraph of the spreadsheet study, which is the K column. Then set the "Color" of the "Color Bar" subgraph to be the same as your background. You will have to adjust the number of rows for the calculation of the Spreadsheet Study to cover the amount of time so all the bars are colored. Keep in mind the chart itself will still display as if that data is there (because it is).
