1) Is there a way to make the OHLC bar wider and not just the open and close?

2) I read days ago somewhere in the settings (I don't remember where) as if there was a way to color each order differently, if I'm not mistaken, based on the chart, am I wrong?

3) Since it has already happened to me to have 1 order inserted and then in inserting the second or third and the profit of the latter, even if different it stuck to the first, and you told me that just remove the check from "support scale in ", OK done.
But now I ended up on Global Setting-> General Trade Setting and both on "scale in" and "scale out" there is no voice saying no don't scale, is that okay? the important thing is to remove it from the trade window chart?

I promise these are the last questions and this time I really wish you and your family happy new year, thank you very much, very kind.

1. Yes, you need to change the Width for these Graphics Settings:
Bar High-Low Down
Bar High-Low Up

Refer to the information starting here:
Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Down

2. We are not sure which option you are looking for and what you want in terms of options. But, refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Coloring Of Position Line Based On (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Chart Position Line)

3. The options in Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Scale In/Scale Out set how the Scale In and Scale Out are going to function. The control for whether you Scale In or Scale Out is on the Trade Window for each chart. Refer to the information here:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Menu >> Orders >> Support Scale In (chart specific)

Unfortunately I have to ask one last question.

Why do I have the general trade setting and chart trade setting menu like this as attached?



thanks a lot

We are in the process of changing our dialogs. Those are the new format. It is a process that will take some time and will roll out slowly. The Settings dialogs are some of the first we are working on.
