Any way to have empty space on right of the chart even when scrolling ?

  Hi,

  I noticed that there is an option to set the empty space on right of the chart, after the last bar ( for example 20% ), but that applies after the last bar / traded price only.

  I was wondering if there is an option to have this empty space even when scrolling horizontally through the chart ? ( If I remember correctly this option existed in NinjaTrader platform).

  If there is no option, any way to “hide” or “cover” price for  X% of the screen on the right side by the mean of a custom indicator ( though based on documentation, I am not sure what to use to achieve it) ?

  Thank you !

  Hi! I think, as you correctly stated, it's not possible to maintain the right margin. Only from the last bars onwards.

  Thank you for the reply still.

  I actually found a very simple way to achieve it.

  If some day anyone would like to achieve similar result, here is what I did :

  FOR i = 0 TO 80 DO DRAWVLINE(-400 + i*5) ANCHOR(TOPRIGHT, XSHIFT, YSHIFT) COLOURED(30,30,30,255) STYLE(line,5) NEXT RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5

  FOR i = 0 TO 80 DO DRAWVLINE(-400 + i*5) ANCHOR(TOPRIGHT, XSHIFT, YSHIFT) COLOURED(30,30,30,255) STYLE(line,5) NEXT   RETURN

  (I used FOR loop but basically what we are doing is drawing a vertical line every 5 unit of X axis like this :

  DRAWVLINE(-400)ANCHOR(TOPRIGHT, XSHIFT, YSHIFT)coloured(30,30,30,255)style(line,5)
  DRAWVLINE(-395)ANCHOR(TOPRIGHT, XSHIFT, YSHIFT)coloured(30,30,30,255)style(line,5)
  DRAWVLINE(-390)ANCHOR(TOPRIGHT, XSHIFT, YSHIFT)coloured(30,30,30,255)style(line,5)

  etc… until 0 )

  You can modify the -400 value depending from where you wish to hide the price, and then adapt.

  At first I tried with DRAWRECTANGLE and FILLCOLOR or BORDERCOLOR and COLOURED, but unfortunately it colored only background and did not cover price and indicators. But DRAWVLINE worked just fine.

  So now I can scroll through the chart and having this seemingly “empty space”.
