Post From: Using tools in logarithmic scale

Is there an easy way to chart the log of a stock's price in a standard linear chart, on its own without the underlying's price? For example, perhaps a new symbol and data file can be created and updated automatically (e.g., MSFTLOG.scid); or a variable plotted that is the log of the HLC of a price bar without plotting the original/linear MSFT.scid prices. If so, the price axis would reflect the log values rather than the actual prices, but it would allow users to use all tools and studies on the log values as described in the original post. I have done this in the past by exporting a price file to excel, converting price data to logarithms, importing the file back into SC, and charting as a new security, but the process is very time consuming and a pain to update with new price data.
