Q2018Mac Investment graph
Today Q2018Mac v5.6.0 was released and installed. Is there any way to designate the low & high value for the Y-axis of the investment graph? Preferably I would like the Y-axis to automatically reflect the low and high value of my investments for the timeframe selected (YTD, 1 Year, etc.).

The number of shares can display more than 3 decimal places and the Y-Axis always starts at zero. This was a request from our CEO.
I'm guessing you can thank Eric Dunn, CEO of Quicken Inc for messing with your investment graph.
Today's release of Q2018Mac (V5.6.0) destroyed a useful feature of the Investment Graph. Prior to v5.6.0 the Y-Axis showed values from the starting value to the current value (i.e.. in YTD presentation, Jan 1 value to today's value). This was very helpful. V5.6.0 now sets the Y-Axis from 0 to today's value irrespective of the time frame. In my case the graph shows basically a straight line in spite of several significant dips- not very helpful.
Sounds like this mandate from their CEO (see note from Marcus) needs to be reconsidered.

There is no note from Marcus that I can see.

this is not an issue of number of shares; it is an issue of the VALUE of the investment. The Y-axis of the Investment Chart should reflect the LOW & HIGH Value range of the investment; NOT 0 to whatever.

If one selects the Y-axis values for the entire Portfolio of Investment Accounts (lets say $500,000 to $1,000,000, that would probably not work if one decided to looking at a individual accounts whose value was less than $500,000 (one would probably have to alter the range to see that account's graph.
With respect to moving accounts to a different Broker, perhaps initiating a 'sell' in the 'from' brokerage account and a 'buy' in 'to' brokerage account on the same day might prevent the balance from going to $0.00 while the real money was in-transit? Just a thought.
Personally, I would still prefer that Quicken set the Low & High values for each account being graphed based upon its Low & High Value as well as the entire Investment Portfolio. Just a thought.
1 Y axis is zero
2 Y axis range is Low vs High values
That way everyone wins.
