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​
 
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.

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.
