Two common chart scales are <strong>linear<\/strong> and <strong>logarithmic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both use the same underlying market prices, but they arrange those prices differently on the vertical axis. Understanding the difference is important because the appearance of a long-term trend, breakout or trendline can change depending on the scale you use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A <strong>linear chart<\/strong> focuses on the actual dollar change in price. A <strong>logarithmic chart<\/strong> focuses on the percentage change in price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, a move from <strong>$10 to $20<\/strong> is a $10 increase and a 100% gain. A move from <strong>$50 to $60<\/strong> is also a $10 increase, but only a 20% gain. A linear chart treats both $10 movements equally, while a logarithmic chart reflects the much larger percentage increase in the first example.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Australian investors and traders analysing ASX-listed shares, understanding these two scales becomes particularly useful when studying companies over many years or comparing large price
