Hello,

Does anybody know if one (and how) can change spacing between candlesticks or OHLC bars ? I don't mena scaling but decrease the space between each bar.
It would be great becouse one can get more bars in a chart with less screenspace.
Thank you,

Press the +/- keys on your keypad? (chart zoom in / zoom out )
Or do you consider that to be "scaling"

Thanks for replying.
That indeed is zooming and works fine but is not what I am looking for.
I simply like the bars to stay the same size but decrease or change the space between each bar. Also a way to change the thickness of the bar contours would be nice.
Thanks again, sadly not what I look for

By "same size" I assume you mean height

Right click chart, select Properties, and check Scale Fix box. You can now zoom in/out without
changing bar vertical size.

Dragging on the prices on the right changes the size, double click restores

If you are not happy with the bars MT4 provides you can draw your own. See HeikenAshi code for example
using indicator.

Thanks, but still this is not what I mean.
Look at a chart and you see space between each candlestick. That space I like
to be decrease and even sometimes make zero so the bars touch each other.
It has nothing todo with scaling or zooming.

Thank you for helping thou.

Peter
