A glance at the oh-so-beautiful Quarterly Earnings page reveals that Netflix is the first exciting earnings report of the season after the close today. I think it’s easy to lose sight as to how many analytical tools are available here on the site. For Netflix specifically, here is a sampling, and it is not even exhaustive.

OK, folks, another “Tim thought of this when he was swimming” feature, and I think you’re going to love it. I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else, and for now everyone can access it (in a little while, it’ll just be premium members). It’s called the Transformer feature.
The Transformer in SlopeCharts is a unique way to apply a formula to every single symbol you enter. This can be a tremendous time-saver if you want to have a customized perspective into any symbols you enter, particularly those within a watch list, since it is vastly more efficient to have the formula automatically applied as opposed to altering every symbol you want to see.

The sine wave drawn object in SlopeCharts, similar to the cycle lines, allows you to suggest where sinusoidal patterns exist on a chart. These are admittedly not easy to find, since no market would simply bob up and down in a steady, never-ending fashion (if it did, everyone could make a fortune with no risk). However, cycles do exist, in crude form, and the sine wave tool can be a helpful way to unveil them.
To use this tool, choose it from the drawn object icons palette:
We have greatly enhanced the ability to attach text to both horizontal lines and trendlines in SlopeCharts.. In fact, only minutes after we introduced the ability to add text to horizontal lines, the first comment I got from a Sloper was that we should add it to trendlines, if possible, Well, here it is!
