Kevin,

I'm posting my reply to your support email here, so that anyone else who is having trouble with this feature can read it. Thanks for your patience.

The way the new Stockwatch Intraday chart zooms:

What the chart is doing is zooming along the time axis, but not along the price or volume axis. This has the effect of flattening curves as you zoom in. If you pull down on the bottom of the chart you can add some steepness back into the curves.

The actual values of the MACD lines do not change for any point on the
chart. The inflection points where one moving average crosses the other do not change.

It may take some time to get used to this system. The idea was to allow you to zoom in on any time region on the chart, while starting with a chart that showed the entire trading day. If you remember, our older intraday chart added minutes as the trading day progressed. This had the effect of changing the time scale, resulting in the same "curve torquing", although at a slower rate, than what you describe.

We've put version 20 back up, and will be collecting feedback over the
next several days and weeks to decide which techique is the most useful for our customers.
