FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add in different stocks to analyse?

There is a worksheet called ‘Instruments’ which contains all of the stocks you can select in the dropdown list. Therefore if you want to add some additional stocks then you should add them into this sheet. In the first column you should put the name of the stock as you want it to appear in the dropdown. In the second column you should put the symbol which is used to look up stock prices. You can find this symbol using https://finance.yahoo.com/. Often the symbol will include the exchange the stock is listed in – eg. BP.L where .L is the London Stock Exchange.

Disclaimer

There are various investment strategies you can employ using these indicators but we do not recommend you invest money based on the use of this tool. As a free tool we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data and therefore you should only use this tool to practice reading charts. Once you are ready to invest then your broker will be able to give you industry standard data and analytics.
