Time Axis Formatting – Request for Rounded Time Increments

View Count: 204

I'm having trouble getting a clean time axis below the chart that displays useful time increments. Is there a way to quantize or round the time labels to standard intervals—like 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, etc.—instead of irregular ones like 9:01, 9:22, 9:37?

Most trading platforms follow this convention, as the time axis is meant to provide a quick and clear overview—not confuse the trader.

Thanks in advance!

OK we see. These are 1 minute bars. We will have to add an option, to set a time increment for the timescale.

Regarding the prior post, this actually has been added in the latest prerelease.

It is in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Intraday Chart Time Scale Increment: 00:00:00

I tried it, works like a charm, it visually cleaned up all my charts.
Awesome! Finally the 1 Min Chart looks neat.

Thanks a bunch for implementing this so quick and easy :)

PS: Unsure why, but it seems not to work to save this into the chartbook file, after saving and reopening SC it is back at default value 0
