How Can I Add Percentage Scaling Into a Technical Chart?

Percentage scaling is a useful feature available on Investing.com that allows users to visualize price movements in relative terms. This article explains how to access and apply this helpful chart visualization tool.

Understanding Percentage Scaling

Users can insert percentage scaling into technical charts in order to measure the degree of market moves. This visualization method helps to understand price changes in relative percentage terms rather than absolute values, making it easier to compare movements across different time periods or between various financial instruments.

Percentage scaling is particularly valuable when analyzing long-term charts or when comparing the performance of multiple assets, as it provides a standardized way to view price changes regardless of the actual price level.

Availability and Access

Note that this function is only available when using Streaming Charts on Investing.com. Streaming Charts provide enhanced visualization options, including percentage scaling.

This feature is available across Investing.com's web, Android, and iOS platforms.

How to Apply Percentage Scaling

You can change the chart by tapping the Percentage ('%') button beneath the chart. This simple action instantly converts your chart view to display price movements in percentage terms.

Once activated, the y-axis of your chart will show percentage values instead of absolute price levels.
