Custom coordinate system replacing MT5 defaults

MetaTrader 5's default chart display has limitations - it only shows broker time, which can be confusing when broker time 00:00 equals NY time 17:00. PrismChart replaces the coordinate system with fully customizable price and time scales.

Price Scale

Canvas-based rendering replaces the default MT5 price axis with full customization:

• Font family and size selection
• Text color and background color
• Rounded price levels at user-defined intervals
• Current price indicator displayed on scale

Time Scale

TradingView-style timeline with timezone support:

• Font family and size selection
• Text color and background color
• Separate colors for day, month, and year labels
• Adaptive format per timeframe (M1 through MN1)

Timezone Modes

• New York (Auto DST) - automatically adjusts for daylight saving time
• Manual UTC offset - set a fixed offset from UTC

Zoom

Fine-tuned zoom control with reasonable time segment display:

• Custom zoom increments per timeframe
• Adaptive time segments at each zoom level
• Consistent experience across all timeframes
