Are you attaching an indicator to the chart ?

Can you describe everything that is going on ?

[carlospelegrini]

yes there's an indicator in the chart

my best bet right now is waiting for the market to close and maybe the bug stops

I just can't stay in the same day in the chart, it keeps going back without me clicking anything.

Maybe the indicator you're using is doing the scrolling...If you can share the code of the indicator then someone might help you with the issue.

I dont have the code.

Yeah it should be a problem with this renko graph.

the same problem occurs to me on custom symbol

i have also posted a thread on this but so far no solution to fix this

It may be the "generator" itself that is causing the issue when it updates the price quotes (or tick data) of the Custom Symbol. You should verify its code.

my solution for now is to create a static custom symbol

meaning the chart only goes up to today (-1day). at least it stopped moving back. So there's something up with new ticks. they are bugging it up.

but now I can look at this thing in peace.

The generator can not cause the problem _itself_, because it just generates bars and ticks. It does not deal (control, send events, or whatsoever) with any charts.

Looks like a bug in MT5.

In essence you are correct about a "pure generator", but the code may also be issuing commands to the chart.

I know this because I have worked with several generators that do that, and I have written some myself (an old one is in the codebase), that does manipulate the chart itself.

So, it is a possibility that should be considered.
