Option for a Vertical Shift Tab, which is linked to and locks the Current Sell Line always on the visible chart area

Thank you for the free chart movements you developed into your platform. Much better than MetaTrader 4 standard. My request is by no means one to remove this feature.

I make reference to your Chart Shift Tab, which is also the Bar Countdown Timer Tab.

On the left Y Axis of each chart, I propose an option for a Vertical Shift Tab, which is linked to and locks the Current Sell Line on each chart.

I should be able to slide this Vertical Shift Tab anywhere freely, in between 1/4 to 3/4 levels on same left Y Axis of charts.

Chart Movement

The Chart itself would move left upon each new bar, as it always did.

However, with my idea, because the Current Sell Line is stationary on the chart, the entire chart, except the Current Sell Line, would need to move up and down.

Current charts are stationary. The Buy & Sell Line/Positions move up and down, leaving in its wake, bars or candlesticks which is linked directly to the Sell Line. The issue is, the bars or candlesticks run off the charts.

With my idea, the Sell Line is stationary, lets say the midway on the Y Axis.

If Quoted Sell Price goes up, the entire chart moves down. The Sell Line does not move.

If Quoted Sell Price goes down, the entire chart moves up. The Sell Line does not move.

Either way, Current Sell Prices will always be visible on all my open charts.

Saving me time from doing the repetitive task of dragging multiple charts up or down to keep up with, and keep current prices visible on charts again and again and again.

When we scroll to previous info on the chart, the Vertical Lock should disengage and allow free chart movement, as is currently. However, upon returning to most recent bar and current quotes, the Vertical Lock should re-engage automatically to where it was previously set.

If cTrader can remember and load the last used Vertical Position on each of the charts upon relaunch, this would be even more awesome.

Comparisons

Metatrader 4 scales all bars, taking the highest and lowest points of price action and maximizes it to the top and bottom of the chart.

cTrader maintains its scale but allows the current price quotes to move off the viewable chart area.

cTrader with my idea implemented, would always lock current price quotes in the viewable chart area, as well as maintain the Chart Scale.
