Currently the chart are always scrolling back to the last value and I 
don't think it's a behavior that most users want !

Autoanalyser, Indicator Builder or Commentary. That is, give the

be able to make some calculation and drawing relative to the current 
chart position. These functions could be used consistently in 
autoanalyser, the commentary or/and the Indicator builder. And your 
are right, in Commentary the function doesn't add any value because 
every calculation is already done relative to one position, the 
cursor position. The only reason to have in Commentary is for 
consistency ! But it can add value to the Indicator Builder and the 
AutoAnalyser..

something that refresh the chart (Changing tab, view, security, 
scaling, refresh commentary, etc...) The scrolling is immediately go 
to the last value in the chart but I think it should stay in the 
current position. A different version of this same problem was noted 
several time by different user. Anyway I think you are well aware of 
this problem !
