Scaling is normally selected for the purpose of getting the graph of the stock to be appropriately displayed for viewing purposes.

I want to pick the scaling in order to keep the TSV graphs I have in other windows fixed in their size. Currently, I have the automatic setting, and so, from time to time, the difference between horizontal graph lines adjusts up or down as needed. BUT, so do my TSV (and ROC) lines adjust relatively.

I have TSV and ROC lines for weekly graphs, monthly graphs, and daily graphs. What settings for scalings should I use to keep my TSV and ROC graphs constant in their "size"?

thank you....warren shepherd

I'm having a little trouble following exactly what you're describing. Would you mind describing a very specific example of either TSV or ROC. Tell me in detail what you have plotted where, what zoom and time frame, what chart scaling option you're using, what template saving option you've chosen, and any other pertinent information that I can use to recreate what you're describing. Then perhaps I can offer some help or suggestions.

Keep the scaling consistent, convert
each indicator to a common scale
i.e. percent.

Doug, let me try a different tack. On my TSV and ROC charts, as I scroll through time, at certain points, the scale for the graphs shifts. When the scale shifts, the graphs jump, to maintain the correct ordinates on the new scale. How can I stop that? Thanks.........

I don't believe you can, Warren. As you have noted, as you move the chart, the scale sometimes needs to change to accommodate a new range required by the data, and the chart adjusts automatically to fit the new range of values.

This is an old work-around,
in the Top Window,
. Prices - xxx chart
. . Moving Average - 200 bars - simple
_ _ _ UNCheck: Visible

Adjust the moving average setting to a longer setting
if necessary.

ejr39,
Not that this hasn't been a useful workaround for certain things and I suppose I could be misunderstanding the issue presented, but TSV and ROC will still 'best fit' to the visible portion of the chart even when a long Moving Average is added.

Using a long moving average was the work-around that
tech support offered with Version 4.

Suggestion: try it. Nothing ventured; nothing gained.

You are right, there isn't any harm in trying, but adding a long Moving Average to Price didn't have any effect on either TSV or ROC when done using TeleChart 2005 on my computer. Your mileage may vary.
