Zooming into and out of a chart is one of the most common tasks in
analysing a chart - so here's a few tips to make this faster. Some are
obvious.. others are a bit more advanced. 1. Use the + and - keys on your keyboard to quickly zoom in and out. The chart will stay anchored on the right hand side. (If it doesn't work, click on the chart to ensure it is focused.. or try using the +/- on the keypad). 2. The  button will zoom all the way out to show the entire history.3. There are three different ways that you can use the 
zoom tool. The first and obvious is to drag across an area of the
chart. A blue box will show you how far it will zoom in. The height of
the box indicates what the price auto-scale will do.4. If you select the 
zoom tool then just click on the chart then the chart will zoom in a
fixed amount, but it will anchor at the point you clicked. Ie, part of
the chart scrolls off to the left, part off to the right, but the point
you clicked on remains stationary. So you can click multiple times
without loosing your place.5. If you hold shift while the zoom tool is selected, the cursor will change to have a minus symbol. Shift+click will zoom out (show more). Again, it anchors on the point you click. 6. Every time you zoom by dragging the zoom box, the previous view gets remembered. Press the 
undo-zoom button to return to the previous view. So, a common process
may be to zoom out to see the big-picture, zoom in on a point of
interest, then press undo-zoom to go back to the big picture again. |
