Adjust chart scale
Adjust chart scale
On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can adjust the chart scale to show the part you want to see. If you move the horizontal time axis left and right, the scale on the vertical axis will change accordingly. You can also choose to fix the scale for the vertical axis, fix the scale for both axes, or expand/shrink the scale to facilitate chart analysis.
Here we will look at how to change the chart scale.
Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.
Step 1
Select "Properties" from the menu or the chart's context menu. You can't set up the scale for all charts at once, so set it up for each chart.
The color for the scale can be set in the "Foreground" parameter of "Properties". If it is set to transparent or the same as the "Background" color, the scale will be hidden.
Select "Properties" from the menu
Click "Charts" in the menu and select "Properties".
Select "Properties" from the chart's context menu
Right-click on the chart you wish to fix the scale for vertical axis, and select "Properties".
Step 2
In the "Common" tab, adjust the chart scale and click "OK".

Scale fix One to One |
Check the "Scale fix One to One" to set the horizontal (time) and vertical (price) scales evenly. When you check the "Scale fix One to One" box, the "Scale fix" box will automatically be checked as well since the vertical scale will be fixed. |

Scale fix |
Check the "Scale fix" box to set the range for vertical axis (price). Set the maximum value of the vertical axis in "Fixed maximum" and the minimum value in "Fixed minimum". |
Scale of vertical axis can't be changed when "Scale fix One to One" is checked
By default, you can change the scale of the vertical axis by dragging the cursor up and down. However, if you check the "Scale fix One to One", this operation won't be available. In this case, you can adjust the vertical axis by scrolling the horizontal axis.
