Ethereum and Litecoin

Since Slope Of Hope has been around longer than just about any financial blog in existence, there’s a deeply-rooted culture here. There are a lot of inside jokes and running gags, and for the longest time, I assumed the mention of “Ethereum” was one of them. Just goes to show how out of it I am, because Ethereum is, in fact, one of the hot virtual currencies out there, and I took it upon myself to add it to SlopeCharts, which is getting better by the day.

You can now punch in $ETH for Ethereum……..

How to Share?

Thank you to everyone who contributed suggestions via my post yesterday about what they’d like to see in SlopeCharts. It really helped me understand your priorities.

I’d like to follow up now by asking what methods you’d like to be able to share charts. Please check the boxes below (as many as you like) of sharing methods which interest you. It just takes a moment, and it will help me set priorities. Thanks!


Silky SlopeCharts

Good morning, everyone. These three-day weekends always mess me up, because I’m going to spend all day thinking today is Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday, and so forth. It’s kind of like jet lag, except on a daily basis.

In any case, I’m excited about the trading day. I’ve got 48 short positions, and many dozens more I plan to enter. Crude oil is especially encouraging………..

A few of you wrote me over the weekend to mention a tiny, obscure, completely unimportant bug in SlopeCharts which was that the price bars were invisible (ahem). This was affecting some new users, and we managed to track down and zap the bug on Memorial Day, so it’s all better now.

I say this because I know from experience if one person writes about a problem, there are 50 others who didn’t bother. Thus, for those of you who experienced trouble with the charts, please give ’em another try, because the super-deluxe feature of the price bars actually showing up is now functioning. (Although I confess I was considering making it a PLUS-only membership privilege).

I actually have a ton of trading ideas to share, but I’m not going to be in a position to record the videos until tonight (yes, I’m apologizing for not delivering to you…….on a Sunday…on a holiday weekend…..for a service you get for free……..so that I can tell you about a charting product I’m paying to have developed………..which you can also use for free. So, yeah, I’m soooooooooo sorry). If you’re not a Slope Plus member, please consider joining us. They keep this place running, and God bless ’em!

Anyway. Back to SlopeCharts…….
