- Fit Studies. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit indicators.
- Fit Orders. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit orders.
- Fit Positions. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit positions.
Invert scale. Inverts the direction of the price axis.

Scale type:
- Regular – a linear price scale where the prices are positioned equidistantly (equally far away) from one another.
- Percent – the scale shows percentage value instead of price points. The scale shows the percentage change between the current price value and the starting price value of a candle. The value of 0% corresponds to the starting price of the first candle visible on the chart.FormulaPercentage value = (current price - starting price) / starting price * 100, where:
Current price – the current price of a choosen instrument. The price type is set in the Chart settings > Data > Price type.
Starting price – the price at which a candle begins. - Logarithmic - a logarithmic price scale represents proportional changes between values. That means that the prices are positioned not equidistantly but accordingly to a percent change between them.
