STOCK CHARTS
Stock charts help you get perspective on market movement.
In StockMarketEye, any time you select an item in a watchlist or portfolio, that item’s chart will be displayed in the chart area.
You can control the various settings and options of the chart via the “Chart Options” menu in the upper-right corner of the chart area.
You can add technical indicators from the “Technical Indicators” menu just to the left of the “Chart Options” menu.
7.1 Comparison Charting
You can compare the chart of one stock against another. In StockMarketEye, this is called comparison charting.
Comparison charting in StockMarketEye consists of adding a “comparison” symbol to the chart. This comparison symbol stays in the chart, just like a technical indicator, even when you switch the main chart symbol.
7.1.1 Adding A Comparison Symbol To The Chart
You can add a comparison symbol to the chart with these steps:
1. Click on the Chart Options menu and select “Compare to...”

2. The “Add Comparison Symbol Window will appear.
3. In the “Add Comparison Symbol” window, you have the option of choosing from one of the indexes listed in the dropdown (click on the down arrow to view the list of indexes), or entering a different symbol.
For example, if you wanted to compare against the Dow Jones Industrial Average, you would choose the ”.DJI”
symbol from the dropdown list.
If, instead, you wanted to compare against a stock, ETF or fund that is not listed in the dropdown, you can click in the field and enter the symbol you want to compare against. In the image below, we want to compare to AAPL.
