Hello traders, MobyTick is proud to announce a new feature that we just integrated, which is indices. So very exciting, let's go ahead and have a look. There's 2 places where we can actually see this. We're going to start with the print lookup, which is over here on the left-hand side where you can select a ticker. Now if we go over here to select our ticker on the top right-hand side, we see that there are some new tabs here. So we can look at all We can look at it. We can look at stocks. We can look at indices, and you can see them all there. There's 12,000 now. There's a favorite section, and then there's top indices. So because there's so many indices, these would be the most popular ones. So if you were interested in, for example, the Nasdaq, we can click this one, NDX, and then you. You actually see the chart that's there, and then you see the seasonality chart if it's, if it's available. Now notice there's no prints on indices, so you'll see down here it'll say prints are not tracked for indices, and then it will tell you that there as well. Going back here, we can search by anything that you like. We choose all. If you do a lowercase search Then it searches by description. If you do an uppercase search, then it searches by ticker, and then you can see them all like that. So if we wind up going and doing SPY, if there's one that I'm interested in that I want a favorite, then if I choose AMD, for example, this is a regular stock. I can click the star beside it. And then it's added to the favorites. So we can see that here now. I'll choose the X. These are all the favorites that I have here. So we have top indices as well since there are 12,000 of them. So there are several here as well. So there's Dow Jones, there's the NASDAQ, the Russell, the SPX, the XSP, which is 1/10, then there's VIX. And so a lot of traders, especially options traders, look at VIX, and you can see that, and then you can also see the seasonality for it as well. Now the print lookup works exactly the same, so we can switch to lower time frames. So say for example the 5-minute, it calculates all of the pivots for you for the trading day that you're looking at. If we come back and choose any of these here, we'll look at for example XSP. You can see all of the pivots along with your moving averages, whatever you have for your indicators. And these prices will be live during the day, so you can watch the chart live. We can also add whatever we like to the watchlist now. So I'm going to go over to a watchlist. I just have this empty one called Swings, but here what I can do is add tickers. I can put SPX Let's put the Russell, the Dow Jones. We'll put we'll put SPY, QQQ, AMD. We'll put all of these in there, and then they get added to your watch list. So here you'll see the price change as it needs to. You can set your targets, and notice that there there are no prints for these for the indices. So you just put your above and below. You can still set your alerts and everything like that that you like, and then that will be built into the watchlist. If I click on it, it should open up in the print lookup. Also, whatever your active watchlist is, if I click watchlist here, you can see them all here that we just added, and you can click on any of them and your chart on the left-hand side will update, and you've got all of your current pricing there as well. Moving on, let's check out the seasonality. So seasonality offers a different view. This lets us look at stocks and indices to see whether they follow the current trend of historical seasonality, meaning that we're overlaying this year's data over the historical seasonality, and we wind up seeing when the best seasonal start and end dates are, the days to hold the expected Now the new feature here is under filters is that we can look for stocks, only prints, anything that has prints. We can ignore trends that don't have a calculated value if there's not enough data, or we can do indices. So with the filter, we just have to be careful because if we have something like only prints and indices and indices don't have prints, you're not going to get any data back. So we have to be careful with that. So we can just untick these, and I'll leave the ignore trends if that's what we're looking for. And then you can see any of these indices. Now if you hover over them, it's going to tell you exactly what it is unless you know what the code is. So we can actually filter for specific indices if we like. We can put SPX, and I'll click enter, and there's XSPX. For more information on the seasonality feature, please check out the videos in the help section or on our YouTube channel. So we're really excited to bring you this new feature. There's always more since Mobitick is relatively new. There's lots of great stuff coming in the upcoming weeks and months, so please stay tuned.
