Hi LG,
good to see you posting regularly again.
Let me help you with the technical part of the log/linear chart controversy.
Log scale is supposed to make more sense for the following reason:
Any chart usually spans a range of prices. For instance in the current yearly QQQ chart price goes from $28 to $39. A variation of +$1 is 3.5% at $28, but only 2.5% at $39.
Depending of the vertical position in the chart a fixed dollar change represent different % of change giving, in fact, a chart that flattens as it goes up in price.
For small vertical spans this discrepancy is negligible. In longer term charts that often show changes in price of 100% or more between the high and the low it really makes a difference.
What the log chart does is to present fixed % changes in the vertical axis: an inch of change in the top part of the chart represents the same % change as in the bottom part.
Log charts should be the only one used, but linear charts have been used forever, and for small ranges it makes almost no difference.
