Stretching the chart?

Hi
Is anybody able to explain how to 'stretch' the charts out sideways?
I'm using ATC FX, on a 4hr setting, and whereas I can manually 'stretch' the chart vertically by click and holding in the side margin, I cannot do the same laterally-it merely moves the whole chart from side to side.
Silly little problem, but very irritating!
Any advice gratefully received.

Have you tried clicking and dragging down where the date and time is? That should expand/contract the chart.

That works fine on the right hand side vertical axis, but on the bottom, horizontal axis, it's seemingly impossible to 'stretch' it out any further than into 8 hour divisions. It's something that is utterly simple and straightforward on all other charting software I've ever used, but on MT it's not.
I sure hope that MT isn't going to turn out to be a monumental, glitchy, pain in the rear!

Maybe we don't understand what you want to do. What do you mean by 8 hour divisions? Are you trying to make each candle very wide or switch to a smaller time frame or ???

My chart is on a 4 hour setting, so normally(other charting software) I would expect to see the time divisions, along the horizontal axis, split into nice, neat, 4 hour segments. Except they're not. The time intervals are in 8 hour segments, and I cannot 'stretch' my chart out sideways any further. I can contract the chart, but not expand it.
So, the horizontal axis will not split into 4 hour sections.
A stupid little problem, but sooooooo annoying!

Now I see what you mean by 8 hr. If the problem is determining what the time is on the line chart you might want to use the cross hair. Clicking the mouse scroll wheel on a normal mouse will display the cross hair or you do not like the button on the platform. The cross hair shows each 4 hour position time on the axis as you move it. There is also the grid which puts a line on every 4 hour period if the chart is fully expanded and set on 4hr.

Maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

press + and - keys on the keyboard...

try this indicator for grid lines every customized period
