The first and most important panel on the chart is the top or Price Analysis Panel. It is critically important because that is where you find our Blue Moving Average. Our most basic rule is that stocks should be bought when they cross our Blue Moving Average going up and sold when they cross our Blue Moving Average going down.
-
Place your cursor anywhere on the Stock Price Line and we display the date, open, high, low, volume as a percent of normal, and close prices. Remember to click on the "Show" button in the upper right hand corner of the screen to get back to current values.
-
Almost every chart contains red or blue dots under the upper or Financial Analysis Panel. Blue dots represent days when the buying volume significantly exceeded the average volume while days in which the selling volume significantly exceeded the average volume are marked with red dots. Of course you can see the same thing by looking down at the Volume Analysis Panel but by doing this we keep significant information together.
-
You will sometimes see yellow volume bars. We put them in when we use these to show that the volume was very nearly the same as the prior trading day.
-
Sometimes you will see a "0.00" in the bottom right hand corner of the stock chart. This means that our quote supplier has not provided us with a final quote for the day.
