True, that is the reason for doing it... it shows how your account is progressing in comparative % terms. Obviously, if you set the minimum value on the y-axis higher to 10,000 or 100,000 it will be clearer.
IMHO on a psychological level it is probably better to at least have this as an additional chart for yourself: as your account progesses the swings that would seem more wild on a linear scale will be put into pespective on the log scale.

Weekly Update for week 12 ended 04/04/2008
Moderately positive week, up 2K (2%).
Biggest loser was a SPY put option carried forward from last week, closing on Tuesday on that massive rally day for loss of 5K. Other than that, the rest of the week flowed smoothly with lots of little gainers.
Looking forward to next week.

Embarrassing week, down 10.2K (9.3%).
Made a 6.7K gain shorting FSLR on Monday. After that I could do nothing right. Every thing I touched went against me. Add to that inability to get out of a losing position, instead averaging in, and panic exits, and that summarized the forgettable week. Devoting more time to getting my automated stuff working.
