Hello, I am using Sierra Chart (current version) with TPO/Market Profile style analysis on intraday futures charts. At present, the chart ends strictly at the last bar, and there is no way to display configurable blank space on the time scale beyond the last bar. This makes it difficult to visually project developing profiles, value areas, and reference levels into forward time, which is a common workflow in profile-based analysis. I understand that Sierra Chart is designed around time-based scrolling rather than synthetic fill space. However, I would like to request consideration of an optional, user-configurable forward time space (blank region on the time scale beyond the last bar), similar to what many platforms provide for analysis clarity. This would be especially useful for: • TPO / Market Profile charts • Volume Profile projections • Forward planning of support/resistance levels • Reducing constant manual scrolling during live analysis Even a small fixed or adjustable forward time buffer would significantly improve usability for this style of analysis. Thank you for considering this request. Best regards, Sincerely Kjetil Solberg |

There are multiple options for setting up this space. First, refer to the following setting that defines how much the scaling will reflect the forward projection area: Chart Settings: Number of Forward Columns (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Display Items menu) If you want to lock a specific amount of space on the right, then refer to the following: Chart Menu: Lock Fill Space (Chart menu) Also be aware of the following option, although not quite as useful as the "Lock Fill Space": General Settings Window: Allow New Data In Unlocked Fill Space (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Charts) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
