I have been through all the scaling tutorials but unable to reconcile different templates to give my charts the same range values. For example, I have a template with several moving averages, and another template with just a plain chart.  I would like to have the price values on both charts appear the same, but they don't always have the same slope or price range between charts. I have tried multiple scale types, most recently the Arithmatic.  Depending on the value range of the chart, the slope and appearance of the charts can be quite different, even though the date range selected is the same.  Is there an auto scale or best fit feature available?  I realize I can adjust the ranges manually, but there must be a way to bring up the charts with consistent values. Thanks

If they dont have an "auto" scale.

I would try putting the same averages on the chart that has none

and hiding them with the slider.

 

That "should" make both charts adjust to the same scale.

 

 

Thanks

Thank you DiceMan, I appreciate the suggestion. That brings the scaling closer, but for some reason still not exact.  Seems very odd we aren't given an AutoScale feature.

Try "Smart Scale" on both charts.
