Ctrader tends to keep the chart where you last scrolled to. So don't scroll it. :-)

However in your code, you can try the ScrollToX method:

Hi Algo

Its strange. Have you tried the option in LMB Refresh?

Another think is center to las bar to time line. But If you move the chart out it does not center automatically.

Personally, in one of my indocadores I use the Chart Zoom function, to have it centered

Solved

Hi everyone,

I found a solution to the issue. Using the SetYRange method to adjust the Y-axis and keep the bid price centered worked perfectly. Thanks to everyone who provided guidance and suggestions!

Best regards.

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class CenterBidWithSetYRange : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Update Interval (s)", DefaultValue = 60)]
        public int UpdateInterval { get; set; }
        
        // Initial range of the chart's Y-axis.
        private double _initialRange;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Calculate the initial range from the chart settings.
            _initialRange = Chart.TopY - Chart.BottomY;
            
            // Start a timer to update the chart at regular intervals.
            Timer.Start(UpdateInterval);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            
        }

        protected override void OnTimer()
        {  
            // Calculate half the initial range.
            double halfRange = _initialRange / 2.0;
            
            // Use SetYRange to adjust the chart so that the bid price is centered.
            Chart.SetYRange(Symbol.Bid - halfRange, Symbol.Bid + halfRange);
        }
    }
}
