Projected balance graph scale (y-axis) (12 Merged/Legacy Votes)

Is there any way to change the vertical axis of the projected balance graph? Currently, the scale I'm seeing is up to $30,000, but transactions for the particular account displayed are designed to keep the account at a minimum balance of $100. Thus, the graph shows a projected balance line that is so close to the horizontal axis as to be functionally useless.

Unfortunately there aren't any settings or options to change the graph.
I have changed this post to Idea thread so other users can vote on this feature.
Thank you for you taking the time to come to the community and contribute.

Adding- setting the Low Balance Forecast in the account register might be an alternative for the OP in an account with maximum projected balances that are two orders of magnitude higher than the low balance warning desired.

In QM2018, dollar values on the Projected Balance vertical axis are typically not rounded and look quite unappealing. The endpoints of the data range are poorly chosen, and when divided into equal intervals usually result in ugly, complicated tick labels.
The values for the tick marks should be "nice", simple decimal numbers. For example, if the data range is 107 to 544, we'd probably want the axis range to be from 100 to 600 and put tick marks every 100 units. Or if the data range is 2.04 to 2.16, we'd probably plot a range from 2.00 to 2.20 with a tick spacing of 0.05.
A simple method for generating nice graph labels (from stackoverflow.com) is to only use the numbers 1, 2 and 5, and power-of-10 multiples of these numbers. Only use such numbers for the tick spacing, and place tick marks and their values at multiples of the tick spacing.
For reference, Quicken's investment portfolio graphs do a much better job of labeling the Y axis than the Project Balance graphs (though still not quite as elegant as the above method).
