Thread :

Logarithmic v/s Linear scale chart.

Tried to capture the most important (but most ignored) concept in simplest language.

For many people, this is going to be an eye opener.

U may share this thread so that it can reach to maximum people of our traders community.

Story :

Assume that you have been recruited as an Engineer in 1990 in XYZ company with salary of 4 k.

Next year (i.e. 1991) you got 20% salary hike and now your salary is 4k + 20% % rise = 4.8K.

You got extremely happy due to salary increment of 800 INR.
Now after 30 years in 2021, Your salary is 1.2 lac and today your boss has approved salary hike of whooping 800 INR.

But wait, the strange thing is, You are not happy today.

Bt Why??
The reason is simple.

Hike of 800 INR in 1991 was 20% of salary and the same amount now is less than 1% of current salary.

I hope you got my point.

This is where the "Log" chart comes into the picture.
Log chart depicts the price (Y axis of chart) with unit spaced in percentage terms.

Means the distance between 1-100 is bigger than 1100-1200.

While in normal chart the distance between numbers/unit is uniform.

linear chart treats 800 INR in same way irrespective of year.
Refer chart of Asian paint and understand the importance of Log chart in bigger time frame.

The trendline support/resistance on higher timeframe with linear scale chart may give you false signal. (or may not give signal).

(Observe the no of arrow. Difference highlighted in box)
When to use which?

a) For short term / Intraday time frame: Linear chart
b) For long term time frame : Log chart

Bro Tip : Now onwards, Observe the Y axis of chart posted by twitter gurus and notice which one they are using on particular timeframe. i.e Log or linear.
Special thanks to @sanstocktrader & @heartwon who taught me this concept.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
