How to Scroll and Zoom on Charts?

There are several ways to scroll and zoom in any direction on your Charts in the KGI Crusoe platform, allowing for quick customization of the visible data.

Scrolling In Any Direction

By default, the chart will automatically follow the Current Bar as it updates in real time, moving from right to left.

To scroll horizontally (left or right), simply left-click and drag in either direction using your mouse. To scroll vertically, left-click on the Price Scale (Y-axis) on the right side of the Chart and drag up/down with your mouse.

You can also move around the Chart freely by left-clicking and dragging with your cursor in any direction within the Chart itself.

To quickly return to the Current Bar, click the arrow icon (Go To Current Bar) that appears in the top-right corner of the chart module.

Zooming In/Out

There are two ways to zoom on a Chart: your mouse or touchpad, and the Zoom In and Zoom Out magnifying glass icons that appear at the top-left when hovering over the Chart. The two magnifying glass icons do not work the same way.

Zooming With Your Mouse or Touchpad

Hover your cursor over the bar(s) you want to focus on, then scroll up to zoom in or down to zoom out. If you are using a touchpad, pinch out to zoom in and pinch in to zoom out.

Note: This method requires a scroll wheel or a touchpad that supports pinch gestures. If your mouse does not have a scroll wheel, use the magnifying glass icons instead.

Zoom Out Icon

Hover over the Chart to reveal the Quick Buttons, then click the Zoom Out magnifying glass. Each click immediately zooms the view out one step and refits the Chart. No further clicks on the Chart are needed.

Zoom In Icon

The Zoom In magnifying glass is a selection tool, not a single-click button. Clicking the icon only activates the tool; the Chart will not change until you select an area.

1. Hover over the Chart and click the Zoom In magnifying glass. The icon stays highlighted in bold gray, which means the tool is active.

2. Click once on the Chart to set the first corner of the area you want to zoom into.

3. Move your cursor away from that point. A shaded selection box follows your cursor and expands as you move. You do not need to hold the mouse button down; this is not a click and drag.

4. Click a second time to set the opposite corner. The Chart zooms to fill the view with the area you selected.

To zoom in tightly, select only the bars you want to view. A larger selection produces a smaller change in zoom level.

Note: If nothing appears to happen after clicking the Zoom In icon, the tool is active and waiting for you to select an area on the Chart. Click once on the Chart, move your cursor, then click again.

Continuous Autofit

Continuous Autofit is enabled by default, meaning as you scroll or zoom on your Chart, the visible historical data and indicators will automatically resize vertically to fit cleanly within the Chart module.

If you prefer to stop the Chart from automatically resizing, click the Chart Settings icon (the rectangular button) at the top of the chart, then select Continuous Autofit.

You can choose to set Continuous Autofit to:

• On – Automatically fit all data and indicators

• Off – Disable automatic resizing

• Bars Only – Autofit only the price bars, allowing indicators to extend beyond the view if needed (useful if an indicator is compressing your price data)

If you disable the Continuous Autofit feature, you can quickly do a one-time resize of the Chart at any time by clicking Autofit Chart from the Chart Settings dropdown.
