How do you zoom in & zoom out charts in Ninjatrader

When I google it it keeps giving instructions on how to scroll along the scroll bar I want to zoom out the chart and see the trend and look left in greater context.

It also drives me crazy that the chart doesn't follow the movement of the candle, the candle just moves out of the site line of the chart and you have to manually move the chart to catch up to the candle. I feel like when the candle moves off the chart the chart should intuitively adjust. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

I am scalping so I don't want my charts too large on my screen as I'm using the dom but referencing the chart for next moves.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thank you for forwarding those links. I hadn't found the links together like that and I just checked them out.

I had already watched some videos and I've been google searching as well.

I have seen where other people have asked the same question in Google but the only response I could find was scrolling side to side but that's not what I'm looking to do.

I found the "hot keys" but they didn't work.

I also tried clicking the "zoom in" and then "zoom out" in the drop down menu at the top but it didn't do anything.

But thank you for attaching those links.

It was really nice of you.

Cheers.
