    how to stop re-scaling

    Hello!
    Still feel like a newbie!
    When applying a for example Moving Average to a price-graph, when scrolling through time the scale change makes the indicator graphs to move.
    I know that there is a way of stopping the scale to change but I cannot find it.
    The problem is that I have created indicators that mark the crossing of lines. However, these crossing get all skewed when I scroll in time. The indicators point to the wrong part of the price graph.
    All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    A quick note, I know about the "overlay without scaling" when you drop the indicator.
    My problem really is that a crossing is re-evaluating when scrolling!!!

    Hi Shahram

    Make sure your indicators are scaled to the same scale (left or right) as the price chart or each other. Right click on an indicator or price chart to secect the new scaling that's to be applied to the plot(s) in question, and then save your smale chart as a new default template (right click in an open arar of an active windo to get this option). To make sure that the new scaling is applied to all charts opened from here on you'll need to delet existing Smart Charts or the relevant SmartChart folder complete with contents (do not delete the raw data which is in the folders above the SmartChart folders).

    With a little practice at setting and/or changing the scale used by various indicators etc you'll soon figure out what works and what doesn't. There are three possible ways to scale each indicator of price - Left, Right, or No Scale (float). There's more to using scales than I've mentioned but this should get you going for now.

    "smale chart" should read "smart chart".
