We had forced this issue earlier, because in instances where values can be negative, we change the graph to a line chart and use the arithmetic scale. Now, SlopeCharts is smarter about it. To illustrate this, below are some Wilshire equity charts, which aren’t quite as jaw-dropping as before, because now the representation is a lot more honest:
