Log scale vs linear scale graphs

[nwoptions]

Which type of price graph do you prefer to use for stock trading?

When I look at the daily chart for D. R. Horton Inc (ticker DHI) on Investors.com (IBD) and compare it to the TradingView chart, the charts look dramatically different.

Is there an advantage to using one over the other?

Probably no specific advantage.

Chart players will use one or both to justify their plays. Each is as valid as the other.

Look at log charts for big moves on bitcoin or gold charts back to 1971. Look at log regression for the lows and highs of bitcoin. See Benjamin Cohen on YouTube.

Log scale only matters when you're looking at long time frames. For long term stock charts I look at Log scale + dividend adjusted. That way you can compare stocks by seeing which one has the best looking 'equity curve'.

Exactly;
same data anyway.
I've used both , but on a really good multiyear trend i avoid any chart where the right edge prices get jammed /slammed into each other......................................................
