Clipped profit zones or mismatched daily candle closes can throw off your trading plan before an order goes live. 4CM-AI Charts aligns Forex and metals to the 17:00 New York close by default. You can compress or reset the price scale in one drag, mark sessions with Ctrl+Y, and plot live Journal trades on the candles.
Stretch, switch or reset the price scale
By default, the vertical price scale adjusts automatically as you scroll. When a distant Profit zone or Reverse zone sits off-screen, drag the right price numbers downward. That compresses the candles and fits the whole roadmap inside one frame.
Journal trades overlay: click Journal in the top toolbar to plot open entry, stop-loss, and target lines from AI Trading Journal.
Right price scale: drag up or down on the numbers to stretch or compress height. Double-click the scale to restore auto-fit.
Bottom time axis: drag left or right to widen or narrow candles, or scroll your mouse wheel on the chart.
Chart settings gear: sits beside the log, percent, and auto buttons in the bottom-right corner.
Press Alt+R or right-click and pick Reset chart view to restore horizontal zoom and automatic price scaling. Your colors, drawings, and templates stay untouched. Press Ctrl+Alt+R to reset every panel in a multi-chart layout at once.
Why does Timezone default to New York time?
Inside Settings on the Symbol tab, Timezone defaults to (UTC-5) New York. That matches the 17:00 New York market close used across Forex, gold, silver, and oil, as well as ForecastFollow in MetaTrader. It avoids extra weekend candles and keeps daily highs and lows aligned. Crypto daily candles always close at 00:00 UTC.
Picking your local city under Timezone updates four clocks together: the bottom time axis, crosshair timestamp, Go to date picker, and replay clock. Below Timezone, Precision lets you choose how many decimal places show on the price scale.
