SC: Can you view a chart based on a specific time period?

When I pull up a standard candlestick chart I can choose the duration - 1mth; 3mths; 6mths; 1yr etc.

What I want to know is, can I see the "exact same chart" but pick a time range - say I want Aug 2003 - for 6mths.

Basically I want the standard graph but with the ability to pick a range (akin to the slider option with the PerfChart).

I find it is hard to read the screen when you want a long range - and yes you can increase the width but that only helps so much. If I want to follow trends and see how a stock reacted (with various indicators) I want to see say a "6mth" snap shot at a time.

The simple answer to this problem is - an "end" date other than today. (Right now it starts as "TODAY" then goes back 6mths).

Doesn't appear to be there - unless it was aleady thought of and in future releases. To me this is a value add based on a rather small programming job. ("Time" might be a factor; but not initially)

Nothing fancy today such as being able to show three years with a rolling 6mths via a slider. That I know would be a big job.

(I never read that this feature is available for paid members)

PS: Why does the "compare plans"; under technical show "Run Scans Against Intraday Data" as being NO for all three. Is that a misprint? (I am thinking why show it if all three are no?)
