How to allow overlapping scatter points in high frequency

I have time series data that are built using the Highstock API, like scatter. When I plan it for 5 days or more ... my scatter points generated in the immediate vicinity completely overlap. I have to close my time frame to see that there are actually two points nearby (which were overlapping).

so please help me on how I can improve the display of this problem.

From what I read and observed, this is one of the reasons for using a scatter plot: to see where the datasets overlap, group together and show a possible correlation (see the formal definition in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki / Scatter_plot ).

You might want to add a note to the chart that encourages your users to zoom in to see more details. The zoom feature is a native part of Highcharts / Highstock, but is not immediately obvious to many users.

It is worth noting that you can limit the scaling to one axis ( zoomType: 'x' ) or both axes ( zoomType: 'xy' ); see http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#chart.zoomType . This may offer you a little more control over how you want your users to view chart details with lots of overlapping dots.
