Manually Adjust Amplitude for Overlay Tool

Optuma Desktop Feature Requests

Hi,

I’d like to request the ability to adjust the amplitude of the historical market curve/line for the chart overlay tool. It would be great to be able to click on the historical curve/line and adjust the amplitude independently of the current market.

At the moment I can adjust the current market chart by clicking on the vertical scale and scrolling my mouse to increase its amplitude to match that of the historical market curve, but not the other way around. It becomes a problem if I am trying to compare several overlays at once i.e. I can only currently match the amplitude of the current market to match 1 overlay.

You can see in the screenshot attached that there is a need to adjust the amplitude for the pink overlay line to better match that of the current market (black) and the second overlay line in green. I have tried using logarithmic scale to overcome this, but it has limitations.

Hi Chris,

The mistake we made with the tool at the moment is that it is reflecting past price changes in the future. That makes no sense since the prices in the Dow Jones 100 years ago mean nothing today. What we should have done from the start is use percentage changes. The tool has been updated in Optuma 1.6 to use percentage change instead so it will be a much better. 1.6 beta is expected in the next few days.

All the best

Thankyou Mathew. Look forward to the change. I’ll update some feedback once I try it out.
