 Let's start with something easy somebody had asked in the room how do I adjust my charts because I had told them hey there's something wrong with your charts your charts are what I call flat if your charts look like this it's not supposed to look this way so I'm going to show you guys a quick tip on how to fix that okay so if your charts start to look a little bit odd again everything that we do here is about visualizing price your charts should not look like this okay this is flat if you don't know that that's flat then you haven't seen enough of our setups but you should be looking at my screenshots other screenshots from other members at the same time take everything that you see from a member with a grain of salt you see say you know you see a member like having success and their charts look like this you know you may not want to necessarily go with what they're doing here your charts should not look like this so how do you adjust some charts I'll do some quick ones here tonight and we have videos on all this stuff so if you're wondering like well hey you know what's he talking about or I'm not going to catch all this tonight that's fine we actually have full videos around each of these topics one of the first things I want to talk about is being able to grab this right-hand price column okay this is the price of the stock okay this whole column right here I'm going to grab it by left-clicking LC for left-click and I'm going to drag it I'm gonna click right here I'm going to drag it down and look what it does you see how it's flattening out the bars and I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna let go I'm gonna grab it down again I'm going to click and I'm gonna drag down and you see what this does right it's just bringing everything in squeezing it down to almost absolutely nothing now I can see I've got some drawing objects down here which reminds me of another thing I'm gonna tell you guys tonight control R I would bind the control R for remove to remind yourself to remove all drawing objects I just hit control R and I'm gonna click yes boom easy way to remove all those drawing objects if you've been drawing things on your charts with Fibonacci levels or any other levels and you just want to erase everything quickly control R now that's not the fault out of the box you will have to change that in your hotkeys settings go and type in Vinny many hotkeys and go watch through our hotkeys video on some of that so same thing I can drag up and I can widen my stuff so there you go you see how I'm doing that that is dragging it up and down so practice that do it on your charts right now grab it get used to this you're gonna need to be able to widen your charts sometimes to see things a little bit clearer you need to be able to have your charts adjusted so that you see everything everything here that we do is very visual and of course we do incorporate all the senses we have the audio box to also involve your senses of your your hearing senses but the visuals are extremely extremely important alright if I drill that home enough great another one hold the control key CTRL okay next thing hold control and I want you to do the same thing hold control and I want you to click right there again and drag it down and watch the difference between holding control versus just click and drag you saw what click and drag does that's in and out but now if I hold control and you might have a situation where you know price is way down here but you kind of maybe want to move that up so that the price kind of comes up here this is what the control does I'm gonna hold control now and watch what happens if I click control I'm gonna click control and you see how now rather than widening it I can literally move the entire thing up and down okay try this for yourself right now hold control slide it up and down you got it that's one now someone had said well there are other ways to do that yes in fact my preferred way I like to use the control again control does a lot of cool things control and then I want to use the control up or control down this will zoom in and zoom out as well but this is a little bit different this one you'll notice I'm getting less bars right some people in fact the image that I just saw in someone else's was not from the squeeze in like we talked about before although you can see how I can still make this bigger or smaller now you can tell my price is down here so I'm gonna do it when hold control and I'm gonna drag it up I would just play with your charts for a little bit in doing these different things that I'm telling you till you get just very familiar with doing it you just have to do this a bunch of times and then you won't even think about it and you'll just know okay like I might want to zoom this in okay cool now I can see stuff very clearly but you know this is still till two zoomed and we talked about that in a lot so I'm gonna hit control up up up up up up up there we go now that's how I get it now you can actually see the colors of my bars internally I actually have a nice little navy blue color hidden in there and sometimes you can't see because I have them generally I don't want to see that color it's another visual cue for me that I've got the proper zoom levels when I am in like this line is usually gonna be around here or right here is typically the level of zoom in that I am using so now same thing I'm gonna do I'm gonna drag it down and then I'm gonna hold control and I'm gonna drag it up okay this looks pretty good to me I'm gonna turn off my overlay for a moment you can kind of see how the chart might look I can tell I need to hit control up up up a few more times to bring in some more of that price from the left control up up up there you go now if you need to look to the left let's say that you are doing back tests and you want to go to the left one of the things of course yes you can drag it to the right you can grab the chart I'm just clicking on the chart and moving it to the right dragging it to the right and you know moving it left and right this is pretty easy but sometimes that gets annoying why you're sitting there okay I gotta drag way I want to go see the morning open right that's my very common thing I want to see the open from today go all the way to the left or you can hold the page up page up page up page there we go there's the open right there or I can hold the page down and go back to where I was page down and now it's gonna go multiple pages at a time so get used to a few of those short keys and hot keys someone was asking how do you adjust your charts and then pay attention up here at the top right whenever your charts get all messed up there are some things up here in the top right hand corner of your chart you want to pay attention to sometimes it's an arrow the arrow will bring all the data right back onto your screen that's one and sometimes you will see an F button that F stands for fix or for me I think that's what I call it I don't know they might have another name for it I call it the fix the fix it button the F button so I'm gonna click like this my chart gets all jacked up like this I may want to come up there and press the fix button you can see it right there which will this is sort of the auto fix button for you to kind of adjust things the way that it's called auto scale so I'm gonna go ahead and click on F boom and that is going to apply the settings that I have on my chart trader settings which again I got a whole another video on this but I'm gonna show you briefly and go here right click and go to properties on this chart and we will be able to see the margins right side margin is set to 100 and I believe that is 100 pixels not 100 bars although don't quote me on that it might be a hundred bars but my right side margin is set to 100 that means how much space I have over here on the right and I believe that say it looks like to me about 100 pixels over here it's how much space I need on the right if you want more space than that you can increase that number or decrease that number that's what happens when I pull like this so this looks like you know this might be a thousand pixels if you wanted yours like this you like a lot of space over here on the right you might want to adjust that right side margin if I press the fix it button it will put everything back to where I have that set the other one right click in that column price bar right click go to properties there we go inside of here I've got upper margins and lower margins this means how much space I've got at the top of my chart from the data and from the bottom of my chart right there these are all things that I just want you in general to be able to adjust quickly for yourself you should know how to do this overlay scale I wouldn't really necessarily worry about these but you can look at our default settings that I've got if you are pulling my work spaces which is going to be the next thing I'm going to show you how to get my my own set to you there we go there's your chart adjustments get familiar with those you want to play with those to make adjustments to your chart but you need to be able to be very familiar being able to move things around sometimes you need to zoom them in zoom them out depending on you know what you're doing with your trade and you need to be able to do it quickly because again as we're playing this like a video game move fast move fast move fast move fast so practice it practice it practice it so that it becomes second nature to you and you're not fumbling around when you really need to I'll give you one more alt will fatten your bars okay so first I'm going to zoom back out so you can actually see what our current bar thickness is you kind of get the general idea but watch what happens if I hold alt instead of control and this is going to be the alt key holding alt and then pressing the up arrow or the down watch what this does this is going to fatten your bars if you want thicker bars okay you can make them fatter you can make them skinnier and I usually leave them with a slight little overlay right about there but again take your take your pick on how you like them you know there's some discretion with that again I have suggestions for how you do it and I have a lot of reasons for that but if you want to play with them at least know what you're doing alt will change the thickness of your bars press the like button share subscribe and comment below with your thoughts and what you've learned
