yes agree with the request,

 

Grid lines are horrible, cannot control the horizontal or vertial grids,

the time on horizontal is random sometimes with 05 min and other times 10 min  and so on, would be good to have the split in to hourly main grid and 5 min sub grid, allowing to zoom in and out and increase the sub grid to multiples of 5

the price on the vertical is very awkwardly controlled, would be good to have the split in to multiples of 5 or 10 when we zoom in or out

 

A good example for this is IG markets, i always have to keep the IG markets open to see the graphs and do the trading in Ctrader

I completely agree! The grid lines in CTrader feel really inconsistent, and it makes analyzing the charts much harder than it should be. The way the time intervals switch between 5 and 10 minutes randomly is frustrating—it would be much better if we could set a fixed hourly main grid with customizable sub-grid intervals.

Same goes for the price scaling on the vertical axis. Having it snap to multiples of 5 or 10 when zooming in or out would make the charts so much easier to read. IG Markets does this really well, and it would be great to see something similar in CTrader.

Hopefully, the devs take this feedback into account!
