Why are the HotCandlestick charts always shown using a logarithmic price scale?

0

Our charts show the log price scale because this is much more natural when dealing with candlesticks (and other trading systems such as Elliott Waves). When candlesticks are plotted on a log price scale, this means a candlestick at the upper price range of the same length and color as a candlestick in the lower price range has THE SAME PERCENTAGE CHANGE in price. This allows you to decern much more easily between a “long” candlestick and a “short” candlestick than when prices are plotted on a regular (non-log) price scale.
