We didn't go over the charts on DWA yet. This is where you enter a ticker symbol to pull up a chart. I'll take this opportunity to go through all the features within the charts. I'm going to click in the symbol CSCO. At the top of the chart I see the following: Cisco Systems Inc CSCO (12/16/1999) 97.88 Up 2.005 Sector: Computers (Risk: Bull Confirmed 62+) Stock Mom: Pos RS = Buy, 10/20/1992; column = Xs - Trend Chart Broke a Double Bottom on 12/15/1999 The top is obviously the name. The second line CSCO (12/16/1999) 97.88 Up 2.005 has the symbol and the date the chart was updated the price and the amount up or down the stock was from the previous close price. The third line Sector: Computers (Risk: Bull Confirmed 62+) Stock Mom: Pos has the sector, in this case computers, what risk level that sector is at (risk levels are the same as the BP charts) and the percentage the chart is currently. The + means the sector chart is in X's. Next is the momentum of the stock which is positive. The fourth line RS = Buy, 10/20/1992; column = Xs - Trend Chart Broke a Double Bottom on 12/15/1999 This information directly relates to the stock. The RS (relative strength) for CSCO is on a buy signal and the date is when that buy signal occurred. The RS is in a column of X's. Next mentioned is the trend chart which is the chart you would be looking at with this information. It gives the last signal and the date that signal occurred. On the top right hand side of the chart you will see blue links for: Help - which takes you to the search engine for the database. Graphic Help - This pulls up a picture of a chart and you can roll your cursor over areas and click into help fields. The chart shown is what is available in the box seats so there will be buttons there that are not available to you. Add to Temp Portfolio - This is one of the portfolio's that I mentioned a few days ago. While the chart is up you can click on this link and the stock will be added to your temp portfolio. Good thing to use if you are browsing stocks and want to save a chart you like. On the top right hand side of the chart (not currently showing with CSCO) an Alert! will appear announcing a change in either RS, sector risk, trend, momentum etc. Next post is the chart buttons.
