SharpCharts features allow members to scroll through 30 charts per page with their favorite indicators. Before you can scroll through a list of charts, you must first create a list or use an existing list. Once a list has been created, SharpCharts users can edit this list and easily add stocks from pre-defined lists. As the image below shows, SharpCharts users can add stocks from the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and S&P Sectors.
Once a list has been created and stocks added, go to Sharpcharts to view the individual charts. First, choose your list from the “in chartlist” drop down menu. My list is “stocks-ndx” for the Nasdaq 100 stocks. This will show the first chart in the list, which is Apple (AAPL). Users can scroll forwards and backwards one chart at a time with the blue arrows. Alternatively, users can click the “view all” link to see 10 per page. Now we are picking up speed.
Once the “10 Per Page” view is set, there are even more, and faster options available. In particular, the “Candleglance” option is perhaps the fastest way to scroll through a chart list. Choose this option to see 28 charts on one page.
The charts are just big enough to see candlestick patterns, short-term moving average crosses and high-volume moves. One the snapshot below, we can see a bearish engulfing for Apple, a gap for Adobe, a shooting star for ADP and resistance for Autodesk.
But that’s not all. The duration drop down menu allows users to view 6-month, 1-year or Point & Figure charts. In addition, the indicator drop down lists 21 indicators available for these charts. This makes it easy to spot oversold oscillators, Aroon crosses or Bollinger Band squeezes. Again, you can see 30 charts on one page. It takes just four page views to see all Nasdaq 100 charts.
