Automatic moving graph

[Merliner]

Someone knows where the option is for the chart to move automatically each time the candle form? What happens to me is that I have to keep moving the screen so that the last candle is centered. I have already select 100 bars in the "Expansion area" box and I still have to move the chart.

Thank you in advance

Scroll all the way to the right. It does this automatically.

Thanks for the reply @armybender. I´m doing that right now and i´m still having the same problem. No idea what is happening

@Merliner. Try this. Take a fresh start. The problem most likely exists in one or more of your studies which are part of your workspace .
1) Save your study names for configuration (instead of writing, you may use MS Snip it/ Snipping tool) for saving your screen(s) study names
2) Then blow away your environment and the ..\thinkorswim folder
3) Download 32 bit or 64 bit thinkorswim from your account and then reinstall thinkorswim
4) Donot modify and add RHS time bars to your charts during the recreation
5) Recreate and use your screens/charts one by one while you add your studies till you find the study clogging your system

Thanks for the info @Florida . I will try that, but i have no idea what is "RHS time bars" Is that a study? Thanks in advance

@Merliner. my bad for not using full descriptive words. RHS = Right Hand Side. Meaning you don't add any bars to the right hand side. Its not a study. You were adding time bars to the hard right edge or RHS. Just don't add them as a chart setting till you have everything working as normal

@Florida !!!!! Thanks!!!! Now works perfect! Maybe sometimes has problem when I try to zoom the last candles, but at least for now if i don´t touch the chart , the chart moves automatic.
Thanks again @Florida and @armybender for all your advices!
Have a green day!

do you mean don't change the expansion area setting, leave it at 0?

 

[Merliner]

i think that was to see if that expansion area thing was the problem. now for me i can add that number without any problem,

 

[armybender]

Yes, if you zoom in, or scale the chart at all, you will always need to check that you're scrolled as far right as possible to include the entire expansion area too.

Also, not sure I helped at all... but thanks for the shout out.

yes @halcyonguy, @Merliner do not change the expansion area setting, leave it at 0. However, I still believe that the problem exists in one or more of the studies. Not changing the expansion area bars is cautionary (as it will reduce variables to chase)
