Hi Kimberly....... hope you are feeling better now You are showing me a chart without giving me the details of how it was drawn. I believe you have shown me a "tick" chart.... not a normal chart as I have shown me. How do I know??....the time frame varies.... The distance on the "x" axis between 10:35 - 12:00 is 85 minutes and when I apply a grid to your chart in my graphics software it is the distance is 2.3 grid lines vertical. The distance on the "x" axis between 13:30 - 15:00 is 90 minutes and the distance is 2.6 grid lines vertical. The distance on the "x" axis between 15:00 - 9:40 is almost 7 hours and the distance is 2.5 grid lines vertical. The X-axis is not equal time divisions as a normal chart would be. I looked into "tick" charts a few years ago and I could not really understand how they were used. I am thinking back but each candlestick is marked after a certain number of transactions...not a certain time interval. I think it is supposed to reduce the noise of a boring chart.... and that makes sense since after hours trading would not have as many transactions.... I am guessing the right access is the VWAP and so I don't know what the share value is at any particular time for comparison. I checked out that website and they don't describe their charts at all ..... This makes me suspicious that Invest.com is performing some kind of proprietorial wizardry on their charts and they have developed some kind of idiot chart catering to the non experienced investor. I am not saying the user is an idiot... It just is a term referring to a stock investment where the user has limited control over what they are seeing. Their charts never seem to display stock values....GUSH is not a $60 stock... it is a $4.00 - $5.00 stock. Then this draws me to the MACD and Stochastic indicators....What really are they measuring??? Anyway....I cannot compare anything.... and I tend to avoid TA when I don't understand what I am looking at and Invest.com gives no education regarding how they develop their charts. UE
