New Feature: Hover Charts for Even Quicker Stock Screen Analysis

February 17, 2015

Update: Now there's an even faster way to view the charts.

I've just implemented a feature I've wanted since I launched the site. You can now hover your cursor (mouse pointer) over a stock ticker to get a pop up of the chart. (Similar to how FinViz.com pop-up charts work.) Here's an example:

hover over a ticker symbol to get a pop-up chart

For now this works on all of the stock scan result pages as well as your portfolio and watchlist pages (and one of my favorite pages, the list of recent IPOs). My primary goal with this site is to make my nightly analysis process more efficient and this has already boosted my productivity a lot.

For those of you on mobile devices, these "hover charts" will work for you too -- or at least they work on iOS, I haven't tried them on and Android devices yet. All you need to to is quickly tap the ticker and you should get a pop-up chart. In fact, the screenshot above is from my iPad. If you want to go to the stock's page you just have to tap the ticker symbol again and the link will take you to the stock's page where you can see the interactive chart and all the alerts & analysis that SwingTradeBot has generated.

I still have a bit of tweaking to do to those charts. They'll likely stay pretty bare-bones. The idea is to get a quick glance of the recent price action in order to decide if you want to take a deeper look at that stock. I'll definitely be adding volume and a moving average -- probably a 20 or 50-day MA. And if the server can take the extra load from all these charts being displayed I may add these hover charts everywhere that you see a ticker that's a link.

Hi Mike, Do you have the scan for Ichimoku cloud? Looks like there was a request 5 Years ago from George on the same scan that I am interested in as well. Please confirm.

I like your site and would like to recommend you to scan the ichimoku cloud. This is an advanced indicator which consists of momentum and trend indicators. You may scan the Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) with Kijun-sen (Base Line) above the cloud. It is like the golden cross but it may be more reliable. You may also scan the Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) with Kijun-sen (Base Line) bellow the cloud. It is like the death cross.

by custom scans i mean the studies, the predefined studies you have available, I would like to be able to import them back into my trading platform to create my stock pool.

I'll consider adding these features. What do you mean by "custom" scans though? Also, what is it that you would do with the results once you get them into Excel? I'm just wondering if whatever it is you'd do is something I could provide on the site directly. Thanks.

Would be great to be able to add many stocks by comma space. I like creating watchlist, but hate adding one by one, would like to just paste all my stocks. also maybe export custom scans to xls sheet... Love the site.

Thanks Vee. I'm not sure about adding Fibonacci retracements. What exactly would you want to see? Alerts for stocks making a, say, 50% retracement? My head starts to hurt thinking about where to start and end the measurements of the moves.
