Introducing Auto Framing: A Smarter Way to View the Market

Previous Camera Control Options

Previously, the game provided two different ways to control the size and position of candlesticks on the chart:

Enable Price Axis Auto-Fit

The system automatically calculated the appropriate price range and candlestick scale based on the visible price movement.

Disable Price Axis Auto-Fit

The chart stopped adjusting automatically, allowing traders to freely control the candlestick scale and position.

Both options had their own advantages.

  • With Auto-Fit enabled, traders no longer needed to constantly adjust the candlestick size. However, when the latest price gradually moved toward the edge of the chart, manual repositioning was still required to bring the current price back into a more comfortable viewing area.

  • With Auto-Fit disabled, traders had complete control over the chart view, but as prices continued to move, frequent manual adjustments became necessary.


Why We Created Auto Framing

During our observation of real trading workflows, we found that the most frequent chart adjustments usually involved two things:

  • Adjusting the price axis scale to match the current market volatility.

  • Adjusting the price axis position to keep the latest price in a comfortable viewing area.

Based on these needs, we created Auto Framing.

A smarter camera system that automatically manages the chart view while keeping traders focused on the market.


How Auto Framing Works

Auto Framing automatically handles the view adjustments that previously required constant manual input.

Automatic Candlestick Scaling

The system continuously analyzes the visible price range and calculates an appropriate chart scale.

Candlesticks will always remain at a comfortable visual size, reducing the need for manual zoom adjustments.


Automatic Latest Price Positioning

The latest price is kept within a designated area near the center of the chart, which we call the Price Focus Zone.

  • When the price moves inside the focus zone, the chart remains stable.

  • When the price moves beyond the zone boundaries, the view smoothly follows the market movement.

This keeps the latest price visible without unnecessary camera movement.


Smooth Camera Movement

All zooming and position adjustments are performed smoothly.

No sudden jumps, instant scaling, or distracting screen movements.

The chart behaves like a camera that naturally follows the market.


A Market That Moves, A Camera That Follows

With Auto Framing enabled, the chart continuously adapts to changing market conditions.

Traders no longer need to spend time manually managing candlestick size and position.

Instead, they can focus on what truly matters:

Reading the market. Making decisions.


Still Keeping Control in Your Hands

Auto Framing does not mean removing manual control.

We still provide customization options for traders who prefer a more personalized experience.

Manual Zoom Adjustment

The chart area still supports mouse dragging for manual scaling.

Your manual zoom level will be applied as an additional multiplier on top of the automatic scaling result.


Adjustable Price Focus Zone

You can customize the size of the Price Focus Zone according to your personal observation habits.

Choose how much room the latest price has before the camera starts following.


Disable Price Axis Auto-Fit

If you prefer complete manual control over candlestick scaling, Auto-Fit can still be disabled.


Disable Price Following

If you prefer to manually control the latest price position on the chart, price following can also be turned off.


Auto Framing Is Here to Reduce Repetitive Actions

Auto Framing is not designed to make decisions for traders.

Instead, it automatically handles repetitive and mechanical view adjustments, giving traders a cleaner and more focused chart experience.

The market moves.
The camera follows.
You focus on trading.
