man, you had lots of patience today. quick question, do you think you would trade the chart differently if they looked like mine?

my QLD moves seem much more violent and yours seem much calmer. i am wondering if i should tweak my chart settings. do you have some setting in the charts like linear chart vs logarithimic chart? from what i have figured out, a log charts Y axis goes by percentages and the linear chart's Y axis goes strictly by price. here is a better explanation

j-yes my charts are more clear. the info i get is easier to disseminate
i dont use logarithmic scale. realtick has something called min/max scaling.
i use only the current day for data with no carry over from yesterday or prior.
i set my horizontal scaling at 13.7 pixels/data point
i don't use snap to window or date range
i would say go linear
