# Scaling

Several different scaling options are available for scaling the price/time range of the price plot. By default the chart price range is automatically scaled from the visible data and components (Auto Scale). 

Scaling options can be found under the **Scaling** tab of the **Chart Settings** dialog ( right click on the chart).

The following are the available scaling options:

* **Auto Scale** – Price range is adjusted according to visible data and visible components . This scaling option will lock the vertical movement of the chart.&#x20;
  * **Auto Scale Price Only -** If enabled, only the data range is considered.
  * **Top/Bottom Inset** (in pixels) **-** Specifies the spacing from the top/bottom border of the chart.
* **Price Range** – This option keeps the price range constant and enables you to manually move the graph up/down.
  * **Price Range -** Total amounts of ticks displayed on the chart window.
  * **Last Price In View (Edge Setback) -** Automatically scrolls back to last price when the last price is out of sight but is still within the current chart window.  This feature is disactivated if the last price is completely off the chart window. The assigned value will not let last price go within that any ticks of the top/bottom of the chart.
  * **Lock Price Range -** If enabled,  the price scale can't be adjusted.
* **Square** – This option will set a fixed number of points (**Ticks**) per bar width (**Bars**). If the bar width is expanded (or contracted) the price range will be updated to reflect.
