Reviewing Seasonality Charts

The chart shows big green and red vertical bars with smaller horizontal ones below each. Hover over a month like March and a pop-up shows the average percentage performance for every March over the last 10 years.

Interpreting and Using Price-to-Earnings Ratios on Wallstreet.io
πŸ’‘
On the Financial Window, you can find the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio for your selected symbol.
πŸ’‘
The P/E ratio is a valuation ratio calculated by dividing the current market price per share by the earnings per share.
πŸ’‘
A high P/E ratio could indicate that the market has high expectations for a company's future earnings growth, while a low P/E might suggest the opposite.
πŸ’‘
Use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics to make informed decisions about a company's value and potential for future growth.
πŸ’‘
Keep in mind the P/E ratios can vary significantly between industries, so it's most useful when comparing companies within the same sector.
πŸ’‘
Regularly check the P/E ratio as it will change with the company's share price and earnings.

Understanding and using Moving Averages (50MA and 200MA) on Wallstreet.io
πŸ’‘
Navigate to Wallstreet.io and log into your account.
πŸ’‘
In the Financial Window, click on β€œMore Stats” to find the 'Avg. Price 50MA' and 'Avg. Price 200MA'. These are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
πŸ’‘
Moving averages are used to analyze price trends by smoothing out price fluctuations and allowing you to see the overall price trend over a certain period.
πŸ’‘
The 50-day moving average represents the average closing price over the past 50 days, while the 200-day moving average represents the average closing price over the past 200 days.
πŸ’‘
Generally, when the price is above the moving average, it indicates a bullish trend, and when it's below, it suggests a bearish trend.
πŸ’‘
When the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, it's called a "Golden Cross" and is seen as a bullish sign. Conversely, when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, it's called a "Death Cross" and is considered bearish.
πŸ’‘
Use these moving averages in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trends and make trading decisions.
