Text Notes in SlopeCharts
Charting is my passion, and with ProphetCharts dead and buried, SlopeCharts is now my new baby. As with ProphetCharts, I intend to make it the best there is. I beat everyone else before. I intend to do it again. And, as before, I will do so with almost no money and no resources.
This will start slowly at first but will build steam. I’d like you to know we’ve already made big improvements to the “bar so far”. This is the bar representing the current day’s activity (the term is something I came up with many years ago in the early days of Prophet; I’m not sure if it’s been stolen or not, but that’s the word I use). Any of you using SlopeCharts during the day, especially early in the trading day, will see a huge improvement. Oh, and you see this without paying any real time fees or signing any freakin’ agreements. You’re welcome. (more…)
