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. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
I want to encourage you more than ever to check out SlopeMATRIX, which is, like so many things on Slope, both free and fabulous. We have made many improvements this week, most notably with respect to speed. You’ll all notice two dropdowns now: one for your SlopeCharts lists, and another with ready-to-use symbol lists. Check it out now, especially if you are already a SlopeCharts user!
If you use SlopeCharts, you really should check out SlopeMATRIX which we’ve improved so much in the last 24 hours it’s hardly recognizable from Monday’s version. To get there, choose it from the Tools menu.
We made some improvements and changes to the new SlopeMATRIX page, which provides real time quotes for your watchlists. I intend to use it mostly for sorting the percentage column, since I’m interested in what is moving up and down the most in a given list. You can access the page from the Tools menu (or just click here), and you can control the contents of the watchlists from SlopeCharts. Please email me feedback and suggestions, since I’m eager to hear from you. Just to be clear, this is NOT a finished product, but I’m interested in early feedback.
Well, I can hardly believe my eyes, but at this point we have basically re-created Prophet.net I seriously never would have guessed it possible.
Specifically, we now have the final piece of the puzzle on Slope, which is a streaming quote portfolio. I want to be clear this is an “alpha” type release, but you can choose SlopeMATRIX from the Tools menu and go to the new page.
Greetings from (once again) the beautiful wine country of Northern California.
I wanted to mention again a survey a Sloper asked me to post – – please click here to do it – – it has to do with how people follow stock trends. We’re puzzled, because the last time we posted a survey, he got hundreds of responses. I posted his newest survey recently, and he didn’t get a single response, which suggests to me I screwed up somehow. Anyway, please take the time to fill it out; it’s just a survey.
Anyway – – a rather dry topic, but important, so let me do a post on it – – tucked away in a little corner of Slope is a screen that lets you control your email notifications. To get to it, click here and you’ll see something like this:
The reason I mention this it because I want you to make sure you have set yours to your liking. Some folks in the past few weeks mentioned problems with theirs, and we got this feature working shipshape. I just wanted to bring it to your attention so you can double-check your own choices.
