Known Problems

  • Removing a study while the slideshow is going causes a crash.
  • Several problems with free quote data used for intraday charts are seen. We attempt to correct for most of these, but not all of them are correctable. The ECN (realtime) quotes are not available for all securities, also since these do not represent the entire market they may not be showing the best trade price on any given quote all though the difference is negligible most of the time for heavily traded securities. Also using a quote source for intraday charts supplies only a snapshot of what is happening in the market every few seconds and does not see every trade, so consequently the range of any candle could be further than is shown by this method. Again, this appears to be negligible most of the time.

FAQ's

There may be additional information posted on our website.

How do I adjust the graph after a stock split?

If you have been tracking the stock before the split, most of the data you are viewing was saved in a file on your local disk from before the split. After the split do <right-click>|RELOAD to reread the entire range of data. If it does still not appear correct, get the data from a different site by selecting Data|Data Sources, and changing the source for the time period you are looking at. Then do another Reload. Some sources do not change their data promptly after a split.

Once I have the studies setup the way I want, is there a quick way to get these in a new chart?

Save your chart as a "favorite". With the chart you want to save selected select either { <right-click> | Add to Favorites }, or { Chart | Add to Favorites }. Then give the chart a name you wish to save it as. After you do this, the name will appear under the CHART menu, where you can select it to reproduce the chart. Once you have the new chart, just enter symbols or make other changes as you wish.
