But sometimes, you want to look at some historical price action and will turn off Auto Scroll in order to do that.<\/p>\n<p>But when you click on Auto Scroll again, it can take some time for the char to move back to the current bar. Quite frankly, I'm just not that patient.<\/p>\n<p>So I found that if you also click the button to the right of the Auto Scroll button, <strong>that will get you back to the present much faster<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is the Chart Shift button.\u00a0 It will indent your chart after you click on it, so you will have to click on it a second time if you do not want the chart to be indented. It is really easy to do, once you know how, but if you do not know, sometimes it can be frustrating to wait for the Auto Scroll to kick in.<\/p>\n<p><em>Got any other Metatrader questions?
