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.

A couple of weeks ago, I ran a SlopeCharts survey to find out what people wanted to see in my beloved SlopeCharts product. I was surprised to see that by far the most requested improvement was the availability of chart periods other than daily – – that is, weekly and monthly charts.
Well, they’re ready to use now for everyone! You’ll see this new item up on the SlopeCharts menu bar:
I am pleased to let you know of another improvement in SlopeCharts: the Hot Links menu.
I built this menu since I kept hearing from people who were having trouble finding a few key SlopeCharts functions, and I wanted to prominently feature the most important ones. There is a totally new feature, however, which is the View SocialTrade item at the very top. (more…)
Early yesterday, I solicited feedback on SlopeCharts, which is the free charting product I built for this site. I was somewhat distressed to see this comment from pipesticks:
…..and this follow up, when Slopers asked him for more information…….
I was very pleased with the outpouring of ideas and information when I ran the SlopeCharts Survey yesterday. Thank you, everyone! There were some specific ideas and remarks I wanted to address here (I’m going to leave them in their raw unformatted state):
My major concern is I will do a chart on Bloomberg charts and a chart in SlopeCharts on the same security and sometimes they have completely different charts…usually the visual is pretty close, but I will look at the HP function on Bloomberg for historical pricing, and the numbers don’t match SlopeCharts…
I get this question all the time. The explanation is simple: our data is adjusted for dividends. Most other charts are not. I feel strongly that dividend-adjusted data is superior. NOT adjusting for dividends is the same as not adjusting for stock splits. It’s insane. I am stunned that anyone doesn’t do it. So, yes, the numbers are different, because the competition has inferior information. (more…)
I am absolutely crazy about SlopeCharts. I use it every day of the year, and it absolutely serves all my charting needs.
I’d like to see more people use it, however, so I want to ask what else we can do to improve it. Please take a moment to fill out the survey below It’ll help me figure out what priorities to set. I’ve also left a field for free-form notes if you want to offer your own suggestions or requests. Thank you very much!
