Log vs Linear scaling

Hi,
I am noticing that when I switch from a linear scale to a log scale,the indicators beneath the price chart do not chart properly.They become broken lines as the scale is way off.
Volume is fine as the effect is not pronounced,but other indicators become a mess..

Is there a way to have the price plot log scale,while the indicator panel remains linear?

Its more out of curiousity and not terribly important

Thank you,

Allan

If your indicator has negative values then it is normal that it is not displayed correctly in a log scale.
You can put that indicator in a second pane then just update the scale of the first pane to log (right click on pane)
