Anybody know how to change the y-axis interval on security price history charts?

I follow a number of crypto securities that trade in the range of $0.00 to $0.01. When i bring up price history in a chart I get a solid blue line at $0.00. If editing feature is not available, can Quicken perform an analysis on the price history series and set the y-axis interval accordingly?

When looking at the price history chart you can click on "Expand chart" and then make the chart larger in the y-direction by dragging and dropping. That will give you a better resolution of price changes, generally, though I'm not sure what you'll see with that $0.00 to $0.01 price range.

I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly with the "analysis" question, but I don't think you can get that within Quicken itself. What you might do is click on Edit Price History, click the Print icon, and then choose Export. That would get you a file that can be imported into Excel where you might be able to do what you want.

Thank You Tom. The chart in question gives a default range of $0 to $350 so changing the size of the chart does nothing. As far as "analysis", I would like Quicken to automatically select a range more suited to the max value in the data set. Instead of $0-$350, if the maximum value in the data set is say, $0.75, then display a chart with a range of $0-$1. And yes, I'm familiar with exporting the data to Excel which gives greater flexibility over displaying data and customizing charts. I was hoping that Quicken could be more like Excel so that I didn't have to export data into another application. Thank you again for your input.

There have been multiple requests for similar functionality but it appears they have all been closed.

You could start a new Idea post and we can vote for it.

Whereas I do believe that it would be valuable to be able to control the y-axis I think this statement is wrong:

That chart doesn't use a fixed value for the max y-axis. Case in point:

So, I would have to assume that if you are getting 0 to 350 that you have at least one price that is pushing it into that range.
