Help CenterIncreasing the candlestick size in TradeLocker is an essential tool for traders using PROP365 accounts. Increasing and changing the candle size can be done in several ways. It is similar to zooming in and out.
Larger candles (on longer timeframes like daily or weekly) allow you to see broader trends, key support, and resistance levels—critical for swing traders and long-term strategy users in PROP365 accounts. Conversely, smaller candles (on shorter timeframes like 1-minute or 15-minute charts) help day traders and scalpers refine their decision-making, often leading to more effective execution of trading strategies in a prop firm environment.
For PROP365 traders, this feature is especially useful for both long-term trend analysis and precise entry/exit points in intraday trading.
Here’s how to adjust the candle size:
-
-
Horizontal Zoom (X-Axis)
At the bottom of the x-axis on your TradeLocker chart, your cursor will change to a double arrow. You can click and drag left or right to zoom in or out, adjusting the chart size to better visualize price movements. Alternatively, hold the left mouse button and scroll left or right to zoom in and out. -
Vertical Zoom (Y-Axis)
On the right side of the y-axis, your cursor will also change to a double arrow. Dragging up or down will adjust the candle size vertically, enabling you to better visualize price changes within each candle. You can also hold the left mouse button and scroll up or down for the same effect. -
Using the CTRL (or Command on Mac) Key
Another convenient method is holding the CTRL key (or Command on Mac) and scrolling up or down with your mouse. This action adjusts the chart size on the x-axis, expanding or contracting the candle chart for a broader or more focused view of price data.
