Jim,

I have had some luck with Linear Regression Slopes in this same situation
by making custom indicators where the LRS is multiplied by 10, 100, 1000, etc.
to change the magnitude. It doesn't affect the wave form (as far as I can tell.)
In fact I always modify slopes so that they are whole
numbers. I find it much easier to compare numbers like 12 and 23 rather
than .0012 and .00023.

I hope this helps,
let me know
