visual of the logarithmic chart on MT5

[Yassou Kalimera]

Hello,

How do I put the graph visual in logarithmic or is it based on logarithm on MT5 ?

Thanks

MT5 does not have a built-in option to switch the price chart to a logarithmic scale (it always uses a linear scale for price representation).

Search for custom indicator or script from Market and Codebase that plots a logarithmic price chart.

Hello and thank you for your feedback, before posting I searched on codebase :

https://www.mql5.com/en/search#!keyword=logarithmic&module=mql5_module_codebase

On marker i find :

I found either oscillators or ea, but I'm just looking to transform my graph into logarithmic which is much more practical for the long term.



Not being sufficiently versed in MQ5, I tried to get help from AI, thinking it shouldn't be complicated for them to come up with a solution, but I was wrong.

First, they confuse it with TV, where you just have to make three clicks and switch from linear to logarithmic. Then they propose a bunch of code that calls ghost functions. Finally, after a lot of time, you get a curve in a new window that only displays the existing graph.

Any clues are welcome; maybe I didn't search properly.

This tool is the foundation for others; it might be a good idea to implement it to complement the fantastic tools included in MT5 or offered by its community.


Thanks in advance.
