Last Bar on the right side

I would kindly ask you to tell me what I do wrong:
when time passes the last bar (the newest in time) is no more visible and I see the red square in the right down corner. Since I work with very low TF, it happens in many cases that all the charts have the last bar hidden. How can I solve this so that the last bar remains at a given space from the right side?
Thank you

We are certain that the last bar is not actually being drawn off the end of the chart as new bars are added. The system simply does not do this.

What is most likely occurring is that your chart is moving slightly so that the bars are then moved off the end. This happens to me all the time, particularly with the scroll wheel on my mouse. If the pointer is over the chart and the scroll wheel is moved, the chart will move, even if the chart (or the Sierra Chart application) does not have the focus (i.e. the chart is not on top).

Another item that occurs is that when you select the chart, you are clicking in the slider bar area, or you are slightly dragging the chart itself which is causing it to move off the end.

There is no "solution" to this in Sierra Chart - in that there is no way to "lock" a chart so that the last bar will not scroll off the end. And if there was something like this, then you would not be able to scroll back in time to see bars prior to what is displayed in the chart at that time. Hence the reason there has never been a change to how this functions.

The best you can do is to change how the Scroll Wheel works, if you think that may be related, and avoid using the Hand tool to ensure you are not accidentally moving the chart. Keep in mind the "End" key on your keyboard is set (by default) to scroll to the end of the chart, so selecting this will bring the last bar into view.
