well, I am actually not at all familiar with
equivolume charts but for a moment I thought it was just setting the X-axis to
using Volume and therefor wrote this email about a possible more general feature
(X + Y axis). But I don't think it is as simple as that.
Anyway X / Y axis charts for me is low
priority. The equivolume sounds interesting,

1) No Al, never tried volume charts with stocks
yet.
2) Ed, thanks for clarification. Now the difference between
"volume charts" and "equivolume charts" is
clear.
