The Slope of Hope began in March 2005 as a place for Tim Knight (after the sale of his charting site, Prophet.net, to Ameritrade) to share charts and trading experiences with a few readers. Since then, Slope has blossomed into the premier destination for technical analysis, trading ideas, charts, and discussion with all kinds of traders - - be they in stocks, futures, options, or just about anything else with a ticker symbol. Main features include:

+ Trading blog and comments, with one of the most active comments section of any financial site;

+ Options analysis, superbly aligned with a strategies library;

+ SlopeCharts, created by the maker of ProphetCharts;

+ SlopeRules - a rules-based method of finding trading ideas;

+ SocialTrade - If you ever see a chart or article you would like to share, you can just "stack" it instantly to our enormous database that the community has crowd-sourced.
