To scroll the chart
Click and drag the chart to move back and forward on the chart without moving the time scale.
When the data displayed in the rightmost position on the chart is not the most current data, a red warning arrow appears in the lower-right corner of the chart:

An arrow pointing to the left indicates that the data displayed is the most current but is not in the rightmost position in the chart.
Click the arrows to go to the current data.
