Question on Time Scale

View Count: 799

Hi,
I have hard time finding how to increase the span of the time scale on my screen, even though I have more than needed days loaded. For instance, on a 30mn chart, I cannot see more than one and a half month at once on the screen (I can see more obviously by scrolling the cursor or the mouse Wheel, but it's always limited to 1.5 month range from left to right of the screen).

Is this normal, or is there a way to compress the curve more?

Thank you in advance.

To see more bars on your Chart you will need to lower the Bar Spacing by using the (Down) arrow key on your keyboard. For more information and other methods to do this, refer to the documentation here:

Thank you.
I well understand this and I am using these methods.
My point was to see whether it was possible to go further in the contraction of the candles to see a longer period of time in the past, at once on the screen, while staying on the same timescale.
It seems it cannot be done. Could you please confirm?

Thank you in advance.

No. You cannot reduce the bar spacing further. The next step is to increase the timeframe for the chart bars.

You must be able to compress further.
For example, 1 second on the screen a few hours rather, than 40 minutes as it is now
