Investment decisions are different from your typical day-to-day shopping decisions. At a local store you can pick up and handle an object before you purchase it. You can try on a new pair of jeans to see how they fit and whether or not you like the look. In some cases, you can even return your purchase.
Watching the investments in your account is a lot different. Sure, you can see account equity rise and fall, and observe gains or losses on a daily basis. But by that point, you’ve already made your decision.
In trading, risk is inherent and there’s no way to be certain exactly what will happen with the investment you make. But before you take the plunge, isn't there some way to get a better picture of what might happen?
There sure is - the current suite of optionsXpress charts offer a great way to do just that. They are a measure of tangibility in an intangible realm - a way to give sight to your investing vision.
The best part? We’ve recently made them even better. Our newly redesigned Xpress Charts and Beta FleX Charts help you quickly analyze the market so you can make more informed trades. We’ve not only made them cleaner and sleeker, we’ve also added even more functionality.
New cursor labels on our Xpress Charts display your vertical axis location, additional time periods offer more granularity for your chart views and a handy legend on the lower study window clearly displays all lower studies that contain more than one line.
Meanwhile, our Beta FleX Charts come complete with streaming stock, options and futures quotes. Plus, you can import your Watch Lists and portfolio positions for easy chart creation – no more digging to find all your positions and manually importing each individually. There’s much more here, including trendlines, support and resistance points, and Fibonacci studies.
Try our charts today and start creating your very own investing masterpieces.
Happy Charting!
