What happens if you use $Trin as the main symbol and then use the symbol you are using as the Indicator?

The scale adjusts to the values of the symbol ($TRIN), not the SMA of the symbol. You will see this if you set Opacity to Auto. So, if the symbol data is spiky, you get a wide scale.

I think you have to shorten your chart duration from seven years if you want more detail.

You could try playing with the height adjustment, but I don't think it will help.

You could download the $TRIN raw data to a spreadsheet, calculate the MA and then upload the MA data as a CSV file for a user defined index. That would eliminate the spikes in the raw data, so you would have a shorter scale and more detail in the window.

Here's a link explaining user defined indexes:
