In the numbers bars, information is lost in formating. Either one has the price level width wide and roomy for the possible high transaction total or narrow to preserve perspective, thereby obscuring price. Can the bars use a K or M designation to condense the text? Or automatically expand and contract to accommodate the text? |

So it will convert 10,000 to 10K. That is good but not really enough to save screen real estate. Since the bulk of the prints (in something like the ES) are three number value, it is easy to set up the chart. When it shifts to four numbers or more, the chart must change to be observed. It would be great if the chart did that automatically but it is a manual process. One can miss the four number print easily because there is no indication it has changed. Other than extraordinary circumstances, please configure the settings so one might maintain one bar width, ie make all settings lean toward keeping the number prints with a fixed digit breadth. |
