You can use Alpha’s charts and analytics to identify underlying trends, anticipate breakouts and time market entry and exit.
Alpha includes a comprehensive suite of chart styles and analytics which can be applied to both historical and real-time price charts. View fig. 1-9 for some of Alpha’s charting features.
Clients are impressed by how easy it is to review stocks using different analytics, and how quickly they can scan through a list of shares such as the FTSE 100.
From your EPIC list, simply double-click on a stock to display its price chart. You can fully customise the colour, time frame and style of the price chart including analytics. You can save up to 12 different chart configurations and place them on the toolbar so that you can apply them with a click of the mouse. For example, you may wish to use an OHLCV chart with moving averages as a default but have candlestick and point & figure charts configured for a second and third opinion.
To display the next stock in the underlying list (e.g. FTSE 350 or portfolio) simply press the spacebar. Alternatively, just start typing the EPIC or name of the stock you are interested in and Alpha will display it for you.
A great feature of Alpha is the ability to draw your own support, resistance and trend lines on historical and intraday price charts.
Additionally, you can set alarms on these lines to alert you to technical breakouts (fig. 10-12).
On price charts you can overlay key company dates, such as Results and ex-dividend dates, details of directors’ dealings, and, if you manage a fund or portfolio, transaction dates.
