Joe J:

I did that. But the scaling problem still occurs. I set the Y-axis scale manually, save the chart, close Metastock, reopen it, open the chart, and the window is autoscaled.

Maybe there is a bug in Ver. 8, so manual scaling doesn't work?

You can then shrink that window down to just a bar (just click and drag it).  That way only the indicator you need scaled correctly shows up in the inter-window you are viewing.

However, when I reopen, the Y-axis has been automagically rescaled to a range much wider than either the indicator or the "P" plot. It will not allow me to make any changes! So I deleted the inner window, and recreated it again. Same results; I can create it and save it, but when I reopen, the Y-axis is rescaled.
