If anything, Omega is a politically sensitive Company. On the one hand
their
scaling mechanism is an abortion. On the other, they are Pro Choice in
offering the options of Entire Data Series or manual scaling.
Another alternative is not to use indicators which are dependent on scaling.
Then you don't have to fiddle with scaling and can concentrate on keeping
the data collection process somewhat related to reality.
With TS, trading is usually an incidental activity.
