When the price moving beyond top and bottom of chart range, I can't see the last bar. the setting I used in the attache file and I don't want to use auto center because it will cause a headache.

Is there anyway to keep the last price always move around fixed range? For example, last price move around the yellow range zone in the attached image?

Thank you

The only help we can provide is to advise you to right-click on the scale for that Chart Region and select Reset Scales. This is all.

This solution is not sustainable in the long run, the issue back again when price move one way of the other.

This is because you have used Interactive Scale Move:

In the case I changed back to Interactive Scale Range and Scale Range: Automatic. The scale automatic moving when last price nearly reach the bottom, which is good. However, it doesn't work when it goes to upside, I still can't see the last price, it goes up beyond and I have to move up manually or reset to see. Also when I using these setting, the scale range is changed automatically make the number bar harder to see. I try every setting and reset but there is nothing work except auto center which I am not prefer to use it to read number bar.

If you were trading, it would not be a ideal if you need to reset the scale range every 5 minute for each number bar charts or even more frequently when market moving fast or high volatility. This would be really annoying.

Would it be ok if SC team adjust the scale setting to Automatic Range-based scaling? The full range is 6 points but the range base scaling is only 4 points count from center, if price move up 4 point then the full range automatically scaling up, not wait until 6 point in current version.

Thank you
