Navigate the price chart
The hand tool moves the view. Crosshair mode aligns the time and price readout with your pointer. Middle-click toggles the cursor mode; the toolbar provides the same choice.
- Select the hand and drag the plot to reposition it.
- Use the mouse wheel to zoom; drag the right price scale to adjust vertical spacing.
- Adjust the time scale to change horizontal spacing. Use Fit chart or Latest to restore the view.
Smaller chart windows
As a panel narrows, commands show icons instead of labels. The arrow opens More chart commands when even the icons do not fit. Hover an icon to identify its action. All chart settings remain available from this menu.
Instrument precision
Price labels and drawings follow the selected contract tick size. Zooming in allows finer tick spacing; changing the display scale does not change the contract tick size.
