view the cumulative profit chart in log scale

[uday12]

Is there a way to view the cumulative profit chart in log scale?

I am trying to do view results of optimization over a longer time-period (~ 6 to 10 years) and the results often look much more noisier towards the end of the period - and also exponential if the strategy works. The log scale can probably highlight the true trend of the strategy.

For instance, attached below is the sample graph (of a 3 parameter system) run over optimized data-series (effectively 4 parameter) and naturally for a 4 parameter system there will some results that will look too good.

Hello uday12,

No, the cumulative profit graph does not have different views that will show the data with a different type of chart.

Would you like to enter a feature request to show the cumulative profit graph in a histogram plot type?

Chelsea, thanks. Cumulative profit graph in a histogram plot is not that useful, but it would be great if you can put in a feature request for a logarithm scaling for the Y-axis of the cumulative profit graph.

Hello uday12,

Your suggestion to provide option to use logarithmic y-axis scale for the Cumulative Profit graph in the SA is in our system and is being tracked with ID# SFT-1190.

We highly appreciate your feedback. Please let me know of any other suggestions or feature requests you may have.
