I wanted to mention a subtlety in SlopeCharts that comes up more than any other, and that is about dividends. Our data is adjusted for splits and dividends, as I believe it should be. As an example, here is the chart of SPY, which looks poised for (God forgive me) an explosive breakout higher. It looks “different” than any other chart, because, well, their data is inferior.

SlopeCharts Now iPad and Mobile Friendly
It took a little while for us to get around to it, but I’m pleased to tell you that SlopeCharts is now mobile-friendly, particularly on the iPad, which is what I’ve been using to test it. It works best in horizontal mode, and the program is smart enough to abbreviate some of its text in order to make room for all the tools and buttons.
Remember Those Price Changes!
Just a reminder that our oh-so-awesome Price Change Charts are free for the taking on this page. They are especially germane during the thick of earnings season.
Intraday Charts Now LIVE in SlopeCharts!
SlopeCharts is my pride and joy, but we are always making improvements and adding new features. I have asked you folks from time to time what you want to see most, and the most common answer was always the same: intraday charts (that is, minute bars).
Well, I am delighted to tell you they are here, they are live, and they are ready to use right now. Now, before I go any farther, I want to say something I’ve been saying a lot lately, which is that as we keep piling on new features, they are either getting thrown to PLUS users or, more commonly, I’m letting everyone use them. This is a temporary circumstance. Later this summer, if all goes as planned, I am going to be introducing multiple levels of service (not just PLUS, which will be renamed) and a whole bunch of features are going to get sequestered to those various levels. So don’t yell at me when they jump behind a paywall. For now, however, it’s free for the taking.
To get an intraday chart, just choose the bar size you want:
Preferences Has Gone Deluxe
I have yet another fantastic improvement to announce for SlopeCharts. Before I do, let me brief walk you through the User Preferences, since we did some changes there in order to make room for it.
In SlopeCharts, the gear icon will take you to the User Preferences dialog box.
