Can't Fit Lower Studies on Grids

Can anyone give me some guidance? I have a chart that I like to use with a few lower studies like TTM Squeeze etc. I want to make this chart into a grid with several tickers that I can review at the same time before choosing one to trade. But when I try to convert that one chart into a grid with a several grid boxes all the lower indicators are cut off and I get this "i" symbol in the upper left of each box saying that that the lower studies can't fit. I know it can be done because I have seen several images of grids with multiple tickers on this forum and YouTube where the lower indicators are clearly visible. So the issue seems to be that I am not doing it correctly. Any step by step assistance from the forum members would be greatly appreciated.

Pics are attached. The screen resolution is 1366x768, which is setting recommended by the ASUS Laptop I am using.

Steps to explore (my setup has larger monitors than you so this is iffy):
1) Maximize the top left chart;
2) Move the shared_AsGood... study histogram to the upper main chart area;
3) On the ...TTM... study lower chart place your cursor at the top horizontal lines until it changes to the vertical white double-arrow and enlarge this grid to about half the chart;

4) At the top and far right corner of this chart select the Minimize Cell button;

5) Re-size the ...TTM... lower chart study to your desired size;
6) Repeat same procedure for the remaining charts;
7) If this...
Thanks for your reply! Pics are attached. The screen resolution is 1366x768, which is setting recommended by the ASUS Laptop I am using.

Yeah, you won't get lower indicators on grids with a low resolution laptop like that... I know because I purposely replaced my Dell laptop with 1366 x 768 resolution... My new Dell laptops have 1920 x 1080 displays which still feel a bit cramped at times...

See the image below for a comparison... Resolution is resolution whether laptop or stand-alone display...

This helps me a lot. Thanks very much, as it is a resolvable hardware issue and I won't have to spend more time and energy looking for a solution when one can't be found.

Your issue is BOTH screen resolution plus the physical size of your monitor.


Here is a 4k 32in monitor @ 3840x2160 you can have many lower studies

Depending on the laptop you should be able to connect an inexpensive external display via HDMI for under $100... I've looked at displays at Walmart that are 1920 x 1080 for ~$80... This might be a viable solution if you don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a newer laptop... I'd go as high a resolution as your wallet can afford... Food for thought...
