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.

First off, I’m only 100 followers away from 18,000 on Twitter. If you don’t follow me yet, please do. After all, once I cross the 18,000 mark, I, uhhhhhhh. Well, see, what I get is…..Oh. Well. Just do it. Please. I do good tweets. Honest.
On to the real news: we are adding new goodies to SlopeCharts at a furious rate lately. The latest is the summary page. You’ll now notice when you get a stock chart, the ticker and company name are hyperlinked.
SlopeCharts has been on a tear this week. I also want to put the word out that I would like to make these available to someone out there who has a blog that could use some charts. This isn’t an open offer – – pretty much whoever asks first, that’s my guy (or gal). It’s really just an experiment. So drop me an email if you want to get SlopeCharts on your site! Anyway………
I’m pleased to let you know that we’ve added Percentage charts to SlopeCharts. To use them, just choose Chart Styles from the menu.
Then select the rightmost icon.
Even though it is a so-called holiday, we’ve added like FIVE new features to SlopeCharts. I’ll be talking about them over the next few days.
One of the features I missed from ProphetCharts days was the Ctrl-U keyboard command, which flipped the chart upside-down (this is a cool way to give yourself an entirely new perspective without having to stand on your head). Well, we’ve added it to SlopeCharts now – – give it a try! Just press Ctrl-U to toggle between normal and upside-down mode.
It may seem silly to read, but perhaps the thing I am most grateful for in 2017 (since we’re almost to Thanksgiving right now) is SlopeCharts. My decision to create “a new ProphetCharts” (my creation that was was killed by its new owner) has yielded a product that has exceeded my expectations, and it is a sheer pleasure to use it every day. Especially the five days per year when the market drops.
Besides enriching the product directly, we’re also always looking for ways to enrich the data. I’ve got more news on this for Plus subscribers, whom I’m going to create a separate post for today, but I wanted everyone to know that the VIX data is deeper now and, unlike before, actually has a daily range. Just look at this:
