This indicator offers four different ways to analyze price action through logarithmic transformation .
By moving from absolute monetary values to values based on relative percentages, it allows for a more accurate valuation of high-growth or wildly volatile assets.
On a standard linear chart, the distance between $10 and $20 (a 100% increase) looks the same as the distance between $100 and $110 (a 10% increase).
On a logarithmic scale, a 100% change will be much larger than a 10% change, reflecting its true relative impact.
