Quick general question on charts:

I've always used a normal price axis on my charts. I plot in a lot of trendlines, uppers and lowers, etc, and this just makes the most sense to me, using the normal axis.

Hadn't even given it a thought until I was just looking at another guy's chart on another stock, and HE had trendlines drawn in that were NOwhere near mine LOL, took me a second to realize his chart was using a log. price axis.

Any thoughts about whether or not to use a logarithmic price axis in charts when drawing trendlines, particularly when you intend to buy upon return to lower trendlines DEPENDING on how everything else looks at the time?

TIA
