Hello Fellow ChartWatchers!
This week we are pleased to announce a brand new feature for StockCharts.com users - Automatically Updating Charts! Starting Monday when the market opens, members of our "Extra" service will have a new way to watch the market. On the SharpCharts Workbench page, Extra members will find a new setting called "Auto-Refresh" (located just below the Ticker Symbol box). By changing that setting to 15 seconds (for example), members can now have their chart updated automatically throughout the trading day. Of course, this feature works best with short duration intraday chart periods such as "1 minute" or "5 minutes". It is also especially useful to our non-delayed "ExtraRT" members. Just make sure the market is open before trying to use this new feature.
In addition to the "Auto-Refresh" box for Extra members, we've added another new feature that ALL of our users can take advantage of - "Y-Axis Labels". When this new checkbox is checked, you'll see the final values for all of the lines and price plots on your chart clearly presented as little "flags" on the right edge of the chart. Here's an example:
You'll find the new checkbox in the "Chart Attributes" section just under the chart.
Note: While the "Y-Axis Labels" setting can be saved into a member's account as a "Favorite Chart" or as a "ChartStyle", the "Refresh Rate" setting cannot be saved - it must be turned on manually each time you pull up a new chart. For more information, please see the "Instructions" link located just below any SharpChart.
Hopefully, these two new feature will help everyone continue to make better investing decisions with StockCharts.com's charts. And, as always, these new features come at now additional charge. Enjoy!
