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 ("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?

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).
