Hello,
Trying to ensure that most recent candles stays on chart and does not "grow" to right where it is not visible (basically giving you old data). I am hoping there is an option to lock the chart on the right so it "grows" to the left.

The only way what you are saying occurs is when the chart has been scrolled to the left so you are looking at an older point in time. When this is the case, then any new bars will not be displayed, as you have "requested" that the older data be displayed instead.

There is not a specific locking mechanism to keep the most recent bar displayed. But you can minimize the ways that the chart can scroll.

Some of the items are to ensure that the chart doesn't scroll are the following:
- Set the scroll wheel on your pointing device to not scroll the chart. Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Scroll Wheel Setting (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Scroll)

- Remove the scroll bar at the bottom of the window. Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Show Scrollbar (Chart menu)
