StockCharts.com tracks chart requests with the Ticker Cloud and Ticker Rain tools. The first example below shows the Ticker Cloud with the 200 most popular tickers. Each ticker is a hyperlink that can be clicked to see the chart. A simple left click opens the chart in the same window, while a click of the mouse wheel opens the chart in a new tab. Tickers with the biggest letters are the most popular. This snapshot was taken at 7:29 AM ET, which tells us the hot stocks before the open. Apple (AAPL), Seagate Technology (STX), Societe Generale SA (GLE.EU) and Renault (RNO.EU) are currently hot. Societe Generale SA is a big French bank and Renault is a French car manufacturer.

Ticket Rain is an animated tracker that shows chart requests as they hit our servers. Vertical bars appear as the requests mount and tickers with the tallest bars have the most requests. The Dow Industrials ($INDU) and the German DAX Index ($DAX) are often near the top of the list. Hover over the vertical bars to see a specific symbol or move the mouse just under the X axis to see 2-3 at a time.
