Computer Software contains nine stocks. While there are certainly more than nine stocks in the computer software industry, we have selected a group that is fairly representative. CandleGlance charts can be used for up to 10 symbols. Upon selecting Computer Software, all nine stocks are now visible with small candlestick charts. It is easy to get an overview of which stocks are leading or lagging. It is also easy to spot developing candlestick patterns. Indicator and timeframe options can be found at the bottom of the CandleGlance page. Users can also create their own CandleGlance groups.
