Hello Fellow ChartWatchers!
The markets continue to rise impressively with the Dow closing higher for 13 of the last 16 days. Arthur, John and the rest of the ChartWatchers team discuss that in more detail in just a bit. I wanted to take some time to talk about six very important things that most people don't know about our website.
1.) You Can Get Notified As Soon As New Articles Are Posted -
Everytime a new article is posted on StockCharts (even this one!), we send out several notifications about via both Twitter and our RSS Feeds. (Most articles also appear in the "What's New" section of the Home Page.) If you want to say up-to-date with StockCharts, I strongly encourage you to either join our Twitter feed or you can point your News Reader program to our RSS Feed.
2.) Long Term Members Can Save Money Each Year They Renew -
Last year, we implemented a Loyalty Rewards Program that provides an ever increasing discount for our long-term subscribers. For each year that you've been a member of StockCharts, we'll reduce your renewal cost by 1%. The only "trick" here is that you need to remember to enter your loyalty coupon code into the renewal form before you renew. For whatever reason, many people are not taking advantage of this deal - don't be one of them! Before you renew, get your coupon code by clicking on the loyalty badge that is next to your name on the Members page. Click here for more details.
(And please don't ask us to apply your discount after-the-fact. It's just not possible. You must enter it into the renewal form before you submit your renewal order.)
3.) Arthur Hill Has Been Improving Our ChartSchool Area -
Arthur has added lots of new articles to ChartSchool recently including ones on the Detrended Price Oscillator, Bollinger's %B, Cycle Line Analysis, the Raff Regression Channel and much more. Be sure to revisit ChartSchool when you get a chance to learn even more about Technical Analysis.
4.) We've Posted Over 2100 High Quality Blog Articles Over the Past 13 Months -
Some people associate the word "blog" with low-quality, controversial sites that spread rumor and innuendo. Don't mistake our blogs for those others. The "Blogs" area at StockCharts.com only contains articles written by the StockCharts staff and a few select guest authors. The articles are only about technical analysis and getting the most out of our website. If you aren't reading our Blog articles, you are really missing out on getting the most from our website. And most of our Blog articles are free!
Here are some great recent articles you may have missed:
What are ZigZag Retracements? from our MailBag blog
Pulte hits retracement resistance from our "Don't Ignore This Chart" blog
Scanning for "Near Crosses" from our "Scanning Stocks" blog
Now You Can Add Sector and Industries to your ChartLists from our "What's New" blog
Be sure to read our Blogs every day.
5.) The Flash Version of ChartNotes is Almost Complete -
So far the feedback on our new Flash version of our ChartNotes annotation tool has been very positive. We have added a couple more features like mouse-wheel and printing support and we think it is almost ready to replace the Java version. For most people, it is faster and has fewer technical issues when they try to run it. Let us know if there are any more kinks that we need to fix before it is officially released.
6.) Our Milestones Page Show You Our Long-Term History of Continuing Improvements -
Don't forget to visit our Milestones page from time-to-time. It shows you all of the significant improvements we've made to the site since we started way back in 1999.
