Hi Joerg,

You can transform any variable with the "Log" function. Example: a = Log(close);

To plot candlestick chart:

close1 = log(close);
open1 = log(open);
high1 = log(high);
low1 = log(low);

PlotCandleStick1(open1, high1, low1, close1, "", colorBlack, StyleOwnScale);

Oooops. Seems to be quite difficult for a beginner.
Switching chart type between linear and log should be a "button".
----> something to improve

And now for a beginner: WHERE do i have to change the formula from (..o, h, l, c) to log(.....) ???
I just want to display all my charts ever in logarithmic style.....

thx

Thank you for the suggestion. We will implement this in the next release.

To change the formula, right click on a chart then click on "Edit Formula".
To use this formula in all new charts, right click on the chart again then click on "Set current layout as default".

Thank you for the tipp. But: I dont want to have logarithmic values, just logarithmic drawing.
Your solution is drawing log-Values at Y-Axis.
I want of course the right values with log scaling.....

Am I the first who wants to display log-Charts? Should be standard......

Hi,

Log Scale is already implemented. It will be available in the next release (in few days).
