So Why SlopeCharts?

As most of you know, SlopeCharts is a product I created this year because ProphetCharts got nuked. This new product is in a state of continuous improvement, and even though last week was a record for usage, I know there are still some holdouts among Slopers who aren’t using this awesome (and free) product.

Therefore, I thought I’d mention a few things to help nudge you folks over that are still using other inferior online chart packages.

Deep, Real Time Data for $0.00 –  We’ve got stocks, ETFs, indexes, futures, cryptocurrencies, plus there’s live, updated all with no exchange fees. It’s hard to beat free. (more…)

By -

Preface to all four parts: This weekend, I’m taking my short portfolio and sharing it in its entirety with Slopers. It is broken into four parts, two for everyone and two for PLUS members. I have made a point of zooming in to the most salient part. As always, you can see any of these charts in their entirety on the wonderful SlopeCharts system.
