Solved! Squished (Compressed) Plots On Charts

Did you add a study and now your beautiful chart has become squished and compressed, like this?

Try this solution:

1. Click on the gear icon at the top of the chart​

2. Click on Price axis​

3. Make sure all the above "Fit" choices are unchecked​

4. Save​

Hey Merry, is there an equivalent adjustment for TOS mobile?

Hey Merry, is there an equivalent adjustment for TOS mobile?

ToS mobile squished charts result when the chart contains formatting elements not supported by the mobile app.

Senior Moment again? Why is my chart compressed? Should I have changed the setting?

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean your vertical range is so compressed you can't see the candles? Typically this occurs if you have VPOC of some type of indicator that uses a very wide range on your chart.

make sure you go into your chart settings --> price axis and uncheck "fit studies". If you don't do that and you have a study that goes beyond the bounds of the default chart it'll compress it down

Chemmy TY for prompt reply I checked in Style-Settings-Price axis and I had fit studies already pressed and still compressed?

Sorry, just so I understand -- you have this already unchecked and your price axis settings are similar to this?

Because if you're on auto-scaling AND you're not trying to fit anything out of scale, then I don't know what else could be compressing your chart, but at that point it's certainly not this study.

No, make sure anything that has "Fit" before it is unchecked.

go into price action and uncheck everything, works for me that way

the chart is squished because you have a plot that seems to be 0 all the time.

step 1 , never use chatgpt again. its garbage. take the time to learn thinkscript.
step 2 , add a bubble to display values. then you will verify which variable is wrong. recentDown2

addchartbubble(1,low,
recentUp1 + "\n" +
recentUp2 + "\n" +
recentDown1 + "\n" +
recentDown2 + "\n" +
dotUp + "\n" +
dotDown + "\n"
, color.yellow, no);

step 3 , look at the code that creates data for recentDown2 and follow it backwards , and add more variables to the bubble ( and disable some) , and figure out why it is always 0.
