Re: Semi-Log Scale in Metastock

Ian:

To me there is no intrinsic advantage of one over the other.  They both
work equally well in MS. They show slightly different things.  I've used
both.  Sometimes a semi-log scale will show things better than an
arithmetic scale.  Try them both on a few securities and see if one form
suits you better than the other.
