Alternatives to scatterplot for visualisation for large samples I would like to visualise the following scatterplot in a different way that would make it more intuitive. The X axis is trading frequency and describes how many trades were conducted whereas the Yaxis describes the return on investment achieved with the transactions.
The sample is quite large and dominated by extreme values. Therefore I considered creating violin plots for each of the trading frequencies but that seemed a bit extreme.
Are there any other alternatives to this scatterplot that would allow me to visualise this more appealingly?


You could indicate the density of points with a heatmap, e.g., using a black-body radiation palette. Alternatively, use a grayscale. Or use a hexbinplot, which pretty much does the grayscaling for you.
