🗺 Moving the chart by changing the frame of data

📈 Formatting the axis to simulate live trading

📊 Setting the minimum and maximum values of the y-axis is crucial to ensure accurate and comprehensive data representation on a chart.

💻 Using Excel VBA, creating a trading simulator involves writing code to set the x-axis and y-axis of the chart based on the data range.

📈 By creating a frame object and utilizing class modules, it becomes easier to manipulate and move the chart based on user interactions.

📝 In VBA, we need to create our own constructor for objects since we can't pass parameters. We assign the passed values to private variables.

🔀 The frame position class has functions like perform calculations, update frame, and move right. These functions update the frame based on the current position and move interval.

💡 Objects can be tested in isolation, making them flexible and allowing for thorough testing before using them in applications.
