It is often difficult to compare the drawdowns from iteration to iteration during development because the DD scale is dynamically changing (as a % of chart? or...).

A special setting could allow to fix the scale to X$ with N steps.

Thank you.

Plot 2 flat lines at max and min when you want the chart not to scale.

plot ("DDmin", -200,MAIN+AXIS2,BLACK+TRANSP); does not seem to do the job.

Actually, makes it worse: a line at -200 guarantees that the DD is at least that and Zorro adds even more room beneath the -200 line. (when the max DD is -100)

Is there a different way to make it work like you suggested?

It seems that Zorro sets max DD scale at appr 20-25% of the profit.
Can this be made adjustable?

I don't even know what a DD scale is. I only know that if I could affect drawdown just by setting some scale, I'd be rich long since.

By "DD scale" I meant the proportion of the main chart dedicated to displaying DD.

If profit is 20K, than the scale for displaying DD will be from 0 to -4-5K...or appr. 20-25%.

Can this please be made adjustable?

We can only adjust what exists, but drawdown has no "scale". It's simply the money you lost since the last peak.

Thread Subj: Allow to fix the scale of DDs on a CHART.

By "DD scale" I meant the proportion of the main CHART dedicated to DISPLAYING drawdown.

Can the CHART drawdown AXIS scale be made adjustable, please?

I believe we are still talking past each other. When you look at a chart, you see numbers on the right and numbers on the left. Left is the asset price and right is the money on your account. The axis runs from min to max. You can scale it all the way you want with your mouse. But that won't affect the proportions on the chart. Only way to reduce the DD proportion is writing a better strategy.

...And the whole purpose of this simple Feature Request - a 9-message thread by now - was to make chart proportions - between profit and dd - adjustable.

Specifically, be able to fix the maximum displayed DD in absolute - in $$ - rather than it being determined as a "proportion" of the chart/ relative to profit (so it seems).
