MetaSymbols Are LIVE!

By -

I am very pleased to announce that the latest feature in SlopeCharts, which I’m calling MetaSymbols, is live and ready to use. You can read all about it here, but I’ve taken the key portions of the information and provided them in this post.

For those who don’t have a Gold account, you can get one for all of ninety-nine cents. Click here for immediate access.

For Gold and Platinum members on the Slope of Hope, SlopeCharts lets you create completely new financial instruments with the components and weighting of your choice. You can gather together as many as 100 different equity symbols (including ETFs) to represent anything you like (such as a sector or a particular portion of the market), and our servers will create the data for you and let you chart your creation.

To access this feature, choose MetaSymbols from the Tools menu of SlopeCharts.

Preface to all KYS posts: Until Tuesday (CPI) and Wednesday (FOMC) are out of the way, there’s absolutely no point in mindless speculation about the market. I’ve said all there is to say until the smoke clears. Therefore, this weekend, I am going to share some specifically-chosen videos. It is my view that most Slopers are overlooking the vast majority of content and features on the site, and I am hoping these videos and links will prod some to action. For this particular feature, the relevant link is here.
