Mm
You can have as many indicators with StyleOwnScale asd you like, however
they will each have their own scale, filling the space available. You cannot
have visual correlation between them. Regardless of the indicator values eg
0-100, -100 to +100 they will use the full space for each individual scale
StyleLeftAxisScale is the second actual common indicator scale.

Steve,
Thank you for taking the time to explain it.  Very clear; I have a 
question regarding "StyleOwnScale".  
1. How can you specify more than two indicators to use the 
same "StyleOwnScale".
2. Does "StyleOwnScale" work like a second set of scale.  I believe 
that two parameters Minimum/maximum can be specified 
with "StyleOwnScale" in the Plot statement.  Do these parameters 
together with "StyleOwnScale" allow us to introduce "unlimited" 
number of scale system on the same plot (not that I want to do this, 
just try to understand the capability).
3. Finally, all plots with "StyleLeftAxisScale" option will use the 
left axis scales, correct?

Thanks again.

you should not use any scale argument. Then, if you want to plot 
other things on the same scale as the first plot, you should not use 
any scale arg in those plots either - the scale will automatically 
adjust to accomodate the total range of all the plots. This method 
works good to plot, say, MA over price, since the scale should be the 
same.

volume is so much larger than the price, it will take up most of the 
pane and you will see the price get compessed to almost a straight 
line at the bottom of the pane. To do this, you would want to add 
StyleOwnScale to the volume plot - then it will be plotted over the 
price using its own scale, and both will fill the pane and be 
readable. Then if you wanted to add a 3rd independently scaled 
indicator, just use StyleOwnScale again.

plot Vol and MA Vol over already plotted Price and MA Price, just use 
StyleLeftAxisScale for Vol and its MA - it will create a second scale 
that can be used by multiple plots, like the original scale. TJ has 
not yet implemented the actual numbered scale on the left, but the 
plots themselves will be correct.
