No you are wrong. Equivolume has nothing to do with
using volume as any axis value.
It draws price vs. TIME, but the bar pixel width is
VARIABLE and depends on volume of the bar. Fancy but NO DIFFERENT than NORMAL
BAR CHARTS
other than variable pixel width of the
bar.

Amibroker, [No Volume Charts]
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.
