    Hello GP and others :)


    Noticed the other day that the y-axis ( price axis in $) is 6 squares high, and x axis ( time axis ) is 12 squares wide, and that is
    always so for all the charts supplied.


    However the price axis sometimes ranges from ( Now its $28.82-$29.21 USD ) so range is $0.39 or around 1.35 % of spot.

    And at other times the range would be more than $1.50 and it would all fit into one graph.

    This way, one cant really try to 'get to know' the shape of the Price Curve.


    Would it be possible to include graphs showing silver in last 24 hrs ,5 days ,3 months ?

    Silverseek.com on their homepage on the right side has an expandable graph for above durations.
    Can that functionality be added here ?

    I agree.

    Sometimes you will glance at a graph and think "Wow! Helluva jump!", but then realise it's only 5C or whatever.

    Not a whinge, just constructive criticism......

    Yes,just keep the axis large and the same,ie $30 height.
    Gives you heart attacks otherwise.
    But I suppose you get it off another site.

    The new Perth Mint website has this option and I must say it opened my eyes when I had a look at the trends over various periods.

    +1 for better graphs if possible :)

    I'll be looking into more graph options in January when I'm back in Australia. Will have to dig into the Perth Mint's T&Cs on their website to see whether they allow reuse of their graphs beyond the widget they offer.

    This is what i was talking about, if you look at the graph now
    ( 7pm qld time - 23/12/10 ) it looks as if the SPOT price were
    tanking but, on the y-axis it goes from $29.33 -$29.25 - so
    the price range is only $0.08 or 0.27% of price, which is
    totally ok and expected.
