Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

I’m sure the likes of Tom Lee were giggling and tittering and being scrumptiously silly on Friday when the Powell Pivot came out. Maybe Mr. (?) Lee isn’t feeling so scrumptious anymore. I’ve said it all along that the Powell Pivot is the start of a major BEAR market, not BULL market, and some folks are starting to wake up to this fact. The /NQ is breaking down below a tremendous zone of price congestion.
Something occurred to me that probably should have blinked like a light bulb over my head about a decade ago: every other charting service out there charges extra for real time data, whereas Slope doesn’t. It’s free. I poked around out there, and based on what I could find, here’s what other charting services do:
Barchart (source) – $89/month for charts with 15 minute delayed data and $139/month for real time. (I would hasten to point out that our top package, Platinum, is less than their delayed charts, plus it comes with about fifty other features on the site).
TradingCharts (source) – $9.95/month extra for real time stock data
StockCharts (source) – $9.95/month extra for real time stock data
FinViz (source) – $24.96/month extra for real time access
Yahoo Finance (source) – Not offered. 15-minute delayed data only.
So my questions: (a) are there any major charting services I’ve forgotten to list? (b) doesn’t it strike you as very valuable that Slope offers real time charting for $0 extra, and I haven’t had the sense to promote it? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Because who wants to trade based on stale 15-minute old data?!?!
