In tradingview, if you set the scale to manual, you can drag the chart around anywhere. Is it possible to do that with a fixed scale and the hand tool in SC?

Thanks

You can have a fixed scale and move the chart with the Hand tool.

When the chart is in fixed scale, I am limited to dragging the chart horizontally, but am not able to move the chart around vertically

Make sure you have the following set to "Yes":
Chart Drawing Tools: Support Vertical Scaling/Movement With Hand Tool (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options)

If the above is already set to "Yes", then we need to understand what you mean by "fixed scale". What scale mode or option are you referencing in this case?
