HI,

I have seen and asked before and seen others ask about how to get the sierra chart charts to reduce more than a pixel. I understand that a pixel is the smallest width but maybe my settings are not correct. On my phone and other platforms I can reduce my chart almost infinitely somehow and with a slide of my mouse wheel i can go from seeing 1 minute to the last 3 months on a 1 minute chart condensed somehow.

Is there a way to do this in sierra chart because when I am tryng to go back and look at some of my trades I can only see a minute or 2 at the most when at an extreme granularity. obvioulsy you cant trade at this speed/granularity but for a look back it would be nice because i wanted to see what happened 5 or 20 minutes ahead by "squeezing" or "condensing" the current time frame of the chart.
Thank you in advance

if this is not possible in sierra could you give a brief explanation as to why? I really need to see more if possible. thanks

HI
I am still trying to figure out how to get sierra chart to allow me to compress my charts smaller.
Say I have a 20 second chart what do i do to get the chart to show more data I.e. a longer time period. I need to make the same chart smaller
but still display the info at this point I am only able to see about 3 hours worth without scrolling.
Thank you

There is not this capability currently but we have an idea about how this might be accomplished and we will start to experiment with it in the coming weeks and see what we can accomplish. We would not expect it to work well at first and have various side effects, but we can make it an option.

I am not sure if this helps or not but when i make my own spread symbol i have noticed that for some reason I can get more 1 minute bars on the same space versus just a single symbol and I am not sure why. maybe it makes sense to you
