Any system that only pays attention to relative price changes --
which includes most common calculations and indicators like
moving averages, MACD, ADX, RSI, stoch, you name it -- doesn't
give a flying flip what the price level is. It'll return the
same values whether the base price of the underlying is 1 or
1000000. Most things don't even care if the price goes negative.
Now anything that pays attention to absolute price levels --
which includes things like S/R levels, things like that --
definitely DOES care. You don't want to mess with price levels
if you use that kind of analysis.
As with many things, the "right" answer depends on your
prejudices. :-)
