Hello All, can you please assist/direct me on how to do the following 2 things: 1) Adjust the chart scale font to a bigger size (price and time), they are too small and I would like to bump up the size of fonts/prices/times scales. 2) Adjust the 'on chart' trade positions/SL/TP - The entry price, stop loss and take profit targets are also too small for me to read (even new glasses don't help much) and I have not been able to find out how to increase the size for these as either. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find this information in any of the documentation. If you can please advise the above things, thank you...Otherwise I may have to use a different/worse platform. Thanks, Carl |

1. The scale font is controlled by the "Chart Text" font in Graphics Settings. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Chart Text - (current font name) 2. This is controlled by the same "Chart Text" font as above. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi John: Thank you, I have played around with it, unless there is a "lock settings" somewhere to unlock it, it seems the creator didn't want this changed as the font adjustments did not work. Thanks again, Carl |

Make sure you are chaging the proper settings. There are both Global and Chart Specific settings. Which one is used is controlled by the setting for "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings" in the chart specific settings accessed through "Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart".

HI John: Thanks so much, I was looking at the chart settings and not the Graphics settings....resolved! Thanks again. Now, have to find out why a Trade Window for 3 different charts are all showing different "DPLs". Thanks, Carl |

Hi John, sorry for my tardiness...Thank you... I'm not sure why, but one trade chart says I have a NPL of -2.50 pts, while the other is in cash reading $0 because I have not made any trades today. Both seem to have the same Trade Activity info. Oh well...thanks again. Carl |

You can have charts setup such that the starting time for when an order fill is included is different for one chart versus another. This is what you are seeing. You need to go through the instructions in the link given previously and make sure you do that for any chart that is showing an incorrect Daily P/L.
