Completely Unplugged

Not long ago, all you needed to to as a company to guarantee success as a financial entity was to somehow associate yourself with electric cars. That’s over. Just take a look at the corrosive erosion taking place across the entire sector. My view is that this collapse has only just started, and I’m not even including the outright frauds you already know and shan’t be repeated here.

Gold is Garbage

Precious metals, my ass. For months on end, precious metals and their miners have been crumbling in spite of every possible advantage going their way (countless trillions of fiat being printed, raging inflation, and so forth). This entire sector looks like it’s simply going to keep melting away, while the 0’s and 1’s of crypto rage ever higher to lifetime highs on a nearly daily basis.

It’s been a little more than a week since we rolled our servers live, and although there were a few bumps and bruises along the way, I think we’re in much better shape now. I hope the speed of the system has been apparent. Here is the latest third-party performance report:

I am also pleased to mention that today, March 29th, is Slope’s 16th birthday. I have a special video waiting in the wings that I’ll publish later that will commemorate this occasion. Thank you, one and all, for being here!

Zig Zag, I Was Takin’ a Bath

Here we are on a Sunday, having introduced two new features! The first was our new Starred Comments feature, and now we are pleased to tell you of the newest indicator in SlopeCharts: the Zig Zag.

The Zig Zag indicator provides a quick and easy way of filtering out the “noise” of price data in order to create a simpler, easier-to-see perspective of long-term price action. You are in direct control as to how much “smoothing’ takes place. As with most SlopeCharts indicators, merely by sliding the indicator bar you can alter the indicator parameter to create as smooth or rough a representation of the prices as you like.
