Show extended session – allows seeing bars from extended sessions on chart. The peculiarities of this setting also depend on the state of the "Use session periods for Intraday chart" setting that can be found in the BackOffice. If “Use session periods for Intraday chart = true”, then the aggregation will start from the first session of the day. At the same time, sessions that belong to the Before market/After market periods will be excluded from the Extended session list;

Chart mode - The setting allows the user to select the chart scaling mode. There are two modes to choose from: Auto and Manual.
In Manual mode the chart scaling is performed by Pinch gesture on the price scale, in other words - bringing your fingers together on the price will increase its scale, reducing its accuracy and vice versa spreading your fingers will increase its accuracy for more convenient setting of the order to the required value.
In turn, using the Auto mode will bring the chart to the optimal size, so that it would accommodate all the objects on it (indicators, positions, orders, etc.).
Note that in addition to switching the mode in the settings, activation of Manual mode for the chart is also done by swiping up on the price scale. In turn, a double tap on the price scale will switch the chart mode to Auto.
Open the chart to see the added indicators.
