Hello,
I use pnf charts with Sierra AWL The symbols require a different box sizes depending on the instruments price. It seems that Sierra's version of pnf only works with arithmetic scale charts. In the chart setting Box size (in ticks) does not allow one to put a percentage to get a log scale chart. In the setting window box size in percentage does not seem to work or make any difference.
Am I missing something?
i would like to deal with log scale because when using the watch list AWL and scanning through different stocks. the price of one instrument might be over 700 and the next one 25 requiring me to change the box size to read the chart whereas if the box size were say 1% of price the operation would be so much more efficient.
here's hoping
