In essence- my example is Ether's 1.618 extension (target for wave 3) is $3563. In linear it is $39. Big difference!!!. Now, we topped in 3 at the 1.382 which calculates out in log at $1420 (really close!!!). 1.382 is what we call 'low 3' on EWT. Lowest you'd expect. But you can see how off it is if in linear. Disasterous if you are trading it. Now, if you go to hourly, it's off less because the waves you are measuring are less in % terms. But as you expand in range, it matters more. The only chart i don't worry about linear in cryptos are 5m scalping charts. For Forex, I use linear because it is hardly off. It's all about % range. There...as concise as I can state it. Knowing this has kept me long Ether since $10. Not full position, and I took a ton off at the 1.382 but knowing this is huge. Do STEEM in linear, then log. Unbelievable difference.

Thanks very much for the follow up, it helps a lot. I think in terms of the reasoning, your key statement is that it’s all about % range. I guess cryptos are volatile enough that the range will be big enough to go log at the outset. What about assets that are not as volatile? Do you have sort of a rule of thumb, like over 1000% range you are using log, and below that you might stick with linear?
