Problem with Metatrader 5

[Iwan W]

Hi. Suddenly the indicators that I have written have become flatter. That is to say, they don't fill the entire screen... REALLY frustrating!

Do you expect us to be able to "see" your computer?

Show screenshots and explain in detail.

What is the MetaTrader build, and operating system?

What is reported in the "Experts" log and in the "Journal" log?

Yes, it REALLY frustrating when you give so little information but expect a useful answer.

Apologies... You will notice that the first two graphs don't fill the whole space... they were in relation to GBPUSD. The third OBV graph was on EURGBP and you can see that it fills the space.

Thanks for your help.

Can you share the actual issue you noticed. The OBV is already showing as it should on the indicator window.

??? OBV is far too flat and does not fill the screen area! how can I read that graph like that!? That is image is not the normal behaviour of OBV!

Indicators don't fill the space anymore. This is because the program is calibrating the space using ALL the data, not just the data visible in the screen

Indicators have having problems fitting to the screen... you seem to be working on the assumption that people only use oscillators.

Then correct your scale or set it to the default ...

Hi, I set it to "inherent scale" and nothing changed. I'm not trying to  be difficult! I've used metatrader for years and NEVER had this problem. There was an update and suddenly even metatrader's OWN indicator won't fill the screen!!

Did you not try the default values that I showed (that is, all unselected)?

Also, can you please enable the tick volume (which is what I assume you are using for the OBV)?

That should help identify if there are some strange values there.

I shall show you my settings... what you will see on the screen will be the settings.
What is happening is that the program is setting the graph in proportion to ALL the candles, not just the ones on the screen... as far as I can tell.
It also happens with the programs I write... but it is a new thing... I didn't change my programs.
