I would like the right side scroll space to be the same if I scroll in or out. It changes now. Please see attached.

I have included a screen shot of the needed option. On each Chart - From the Menu bar - Select "Chart" then click on the 5th one down in the menu "Lock Fill Space". If there is a check mark in front of it, the chart right side fill space amount is locked. You can also know if a chart is locked by looking at the bottom right of the chart. If there is an "L", then the chart fill space is in locked mode. JohnR

Thank you for the quick response. I am familiar with that option. It does not lock the fill space to be the same if I scroll out. Please see new snapshot.

Yes, what you are seeing is the way the Lock Fill Space works. It is keeping the same relative number of bars space, not the number of pixels. What you are looking for is not currently available.

Hi, my lock space is not checked, but it's still locked. My chart looks like the poster's above. There is a lock space. I don't want it. I want my candle bars to scroll through it so that my chart is full screen. I do have a All bars Volume Profile (outline) on the right side. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I would like the candles to scroll right through it to the end of the screen window. Is there way to do that?

IAMSPARTUCUS: Check the option for Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Allow New Data In Unlocked Fill Space. You want to have this set to Yes to have the bars fill in all the space to the right. Refer to the information here: 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
