Yea, the re-scaling algorithm is a future leak. I wonder how the developers didn't notice.

Did notice, didn't know what to do about it. I think it's the main problem with the game. There are plenty of options that don't leak and maybe I was just too enamored of the visceral feel of the y-domain following simplified+smoothed price line. Scale is also sensitive to variance over time, also smoothed, also leaks.

Yeah, there is a bit of a leak but relying on that will not benefit you when you get Enron.

+1 for Enron. I was getting really excited as I saw it scale out and out and out. I knew there was going to be a huge jump and I was going to make a massive return. Unfortunately it didn't occur to me to be more reflexive. I think I barely managed to recoup my initial investment.
