Thanks Donald for the reply reading back through the newsgroup you would be
one of the main contributor to ami,
The scaling doesn't matter a great deal for short term views say 2 or 3
month but when looking at longer time frames log is the best method as
described by you.(IMHO Too)
What I did notice was when checking the log box it cropped the chart,
cutting off the wicks on days and on one chart it gobbled up volume bars at
the bottom of the chart !
not a problem if you know ..
