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.

Editor’s note: I composed this post before Tesla began its free-fall, so it’s actually quite timely……..
I’d like to drive home the value of our new chart-based alert system with a real life example. How about we pick on a company which, over its history, has lost about $10 billion yet has managed to score a market cap approaching $900 billion: Tesla. Here is the precarious chart:
It was only yesterday that we introduced Chart-Based Alerts to the SlopeCharts feature set. We are pleased to follow this up with something vastly more complex on our end, which is trendline-based alerts.
Let’s take a real-life example of an ETF I follow, which is the Brazil ETF, symbol EWZ. There is nothing particularly tradeable about this chart, but I believe a break above the horizontal line would be bullish and a break below the ascending trendline would be bearish.

(more…)Late last year, I surveyed Slopers to see what they wanted most on the site. The results were extremely helpful, and far and away the most popular request was to create chart-based alerts in SlopeCharts. I am delighted to report we have made our first baby step in that direction, and it is available to you right now.
Our first chart object that will use this feature is the simplest one, which is the horizontal line. This line is crucial for, naturally, price breaks above a certain level (bullish) or below a certain level (bearish).
Using it could not be simpler. When you right-click on a horizontal line, you will see a new choice called Create Chart Alert:
There has been so much growth to Slope in recent years that it’s very easy to lose track of all the features on the site. Below are seven pages I think you will find of interest, and I’ve deliberately selected those which are free of charge to all users. A good way to spend a Saturday!
