Graphic Content: Parental Discretion

The Slope of Hope Daily Digest has been a regular mailing from the site for many years. We just beefed it up to be more graphical and, I hope, more appealing to read.

Virtual Signaling

Over the years, people have suggested many times that I reveal the traffic graph for Slope as a contrary indicator for the market. I think I’ve got a better idea. Looking at my own equity curve from the Top Ten Traders page, we can see I’ve lost over $5 million, a third of my account’s value. I’d like to suggest in times past these mega-plunges have been met in turn with explosions to a new high (in other words, a weak stock market). We shall see!

Stream a Little Stream

By -

As proud as I am of what we’ve created here on Slope, there was one aspect of the site which always caused me to look the other way and mumble incoherently: the streaming charts. The fastest they could go is updating every 5 seconds, and even that was kind of dicey. Well, we’ve reworked this from the ground up, and now we have true streaming charts for both equities as cryptocurrencies. In the Preferences dialog, you should see a new selection under the General tab for Streaming refresh, and I’d love you to give it a whirl. (We are updating the entitlements today so the old dropdown goes away and all paying members get streaming, but even now, I think any subscriber can access it).
