Extra Bars on the Chart

 | 

How do I get extra space at the end of the chart?

Answer: Under chart attributes, Sharpcharts users can apply the “extra bars” function to add empty space to the end of their charts. For daily charts, 30 bars will add the equivalent of 30 trading days or around 6 weeks. For weekly charts, 30 bars will add 30 weeks to the end of the chart. Adding time is helpful for developing future scenarios based on both price and time. On the chart example below, 30 days extends to early July.
