Subject : RE: Missing Scale Indicator Values Check Box

Post #44666 - In reply to #44663

I can contribute a bit from some testing I did back in March…

intentionally set it up so that ATM was ranking 2 variables that had very different values (scales); Money Flow and VTY.

The snag below shows that in that case it’s absolutely necessary to have the “Scale Indicator Values” checked to get valid results.




Since the results shouldn’t be affected with “Scale Indicator Values” checked if the scales are the same (VTY ranked with a different VTY formula),
I’ve decided to always have “Scale Indicator Values” checked if I’m balancing 2 Ranking functions.

i.e.: it can’t hurt, but if not checked, it can certainly change your results.


Hope that helps,
Mark
