Autoscale Chart Trader Bars Enabling this option scales the chart so that all chart trader bars (entry/stops/target) are visible. Let's assume that you run a trade using the day chart and then switch to the 5-minute chart. This may lead to orders on the 5-minute chart being too far away from each other, so that in order to display all orders the chart must be extremely compacted. So, check this box if you want all order bars to be shown inside the chart (autoscale). If order bars may also be located outside the chart, do not select this option.
Autoscale Chart Trader Markers Enabling this option scales the chart so that all chart trader markers are visible.
