A Bullish Chart I Love

By -

Well, at least there is one strengthening chart around that I applaud, and that is the usage data for SlopeCharts. It’s getting stronger by the day, and I’m delighted to tell you that multiple new technical indicators will be announced soon, free to all users. I’m so pleased people are embracing the product. As I’ve said, I run a seven-figure portfolio based on nothing but SlopeCharts, so my trust for it is quite deep.

As for the markets, crude oil’s plunge this morning has been a wonderful elixir, turning an ugly loss into a nice little profit (at the moment). Let’s keep it going!

I presently have 66 short positions, 59 of which are profitable as of this writing.

I’m Inclined to Agree

We recently added the ability for SlopeCharts to tweet out charts. One user made good use of the feature, and I told him it was a nice-looking chart. I was very pleased at his response:

The reason it’s the best isn’t because of the time I’ve had to work on it (I’ve only started) or the money behind it (which is basically nothing). It has the most nauseating, but truthful ingredient of all: love. Because I care deeply about this stuff and, frankly, the vast majority of other charting vendors seriously don’t give a flying crap, whereas I do.

Just remember: Tim gives a flying crap.

Joking aside, I manage a seven-figure portfolio using ONE and ONLY one tool: my beloved SlopeCharts. So if I trust it this much, maybe you should consider paying up the $0.00 I demand for it and try it too. There aren’t even ads on the freakin’ page, baby.

Moving Averages

By -

I wanted to mention a subtle improvement to SlopeCharts – – now, when you lay down moving averages, you can see detailed information on all of them (color-coded) on the data line. SMA stands for simple moving average, EMA for exponential moving average, and the parenthetical number indicates the number of days used in the calculation. As you move the cursor, it will reflect the information for that particular day. There are many new indicators on the way.
