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. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
I wanted to call this out, because it surely won’t last – – but we’ve beefed up our Top Ten Traders page (based on the virtual trading system) and a certain someone finally crawled his way to the top spot. There are more improvements coming to this page – – notably, the ability to see what positions each person had in the past and has currently – – and I’m excited to see this taking hold.
The Slope of Hope mobile app (available free of charge for both Android and iPhone/iPad here) has become very popular are has received terrific reviews (a perfect 5.0 on Android and 4.9 in the Apple store). We’re going to be adding more features to this app, which I’ll announce as they tumble out, and today we have added two new pages to the “Charts” section:
Let’s suppose you were about to head outdoors, and you asked me the temperature so you could dress appropriately. “It’s thirty-two”, I tell you. So you slip on a thick coat, a scarf, and a hat, then you head outside.
After you shut the door behind you, the hot air hits you, and you immediately come back inside, furious with me, and change into something more comfortable. I was telling you the truth – – the temperature was, in fact, 32. Celsius. In other words, you should be wearing a short-sleeved Tommy Bahama top and not a thick coat.
Similarly, you might ask me what my father’s salary was when I was a kid. “Thirty-five thousand dollars.” Wow, pathetic, right? How did he support a family of six, and we lived in a nice house? Well, the salary I am telling you about was from decades ago, and it was pretty good money back then.
(more…)I’ve got another product feature to announce! Before I do, I wanted to mention that the Labels feature in SlopeCharts is so extensive, that the documentation page was ridiculously long and cumbersome. I’ve taken the time to reformat it into a much more useful and accessible style, so please take a look.
I am pleased to let you know what we have now given you the ability to share labels with other Slopers. What this means is that if you, for example, tagged 27 different symbols with a particular label, and you Share that label, other users can “subscribe” to that label and examine those 27 hand-picked symbols for themselves.
