Big Chart
Our Investing Foundation Course teaches that when looking for excellent stocks, follow the money—because big institutions (like pension funds) tend to invest in certain areas at the same time. Investools' proprietary Big Chart tracks and displays institutional money as it ebbs and flows from different industry groups, showing these movements in bright blocks of green, yellow and red. Red means money is leaving the group, yellow signals a change and green means money is entering it. This makes it simple to focus on uptrending groups and avoid downtrending ones. Features include:
- Today's industry highlights
- Industry group rate of return
- Best- and worst-performing industries
- Searches by rank, name, analysis and commentary
- Featured industry profiles

Red & Green Arrows
An exclusive Investor Toolbox feature that helps you more accurately time your buying and selling activities based on a stock's technical indicators. Basically, when three green arrows line up on three different indicators simultaneously, it's a good time to enter an investment. But when three red arrows line up, it's time to sit this one out. The red and green arrows show up on these indicators:
- Stochastic: Who is winning the daily battle between the bulls and the bears
- Moving Average: Tells whether a stock is in an uptrend, downtrend or moving sideways
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): Displays the interaction of two moving averages, fast and slow
- Searches by rank, name, analysis and commentary
- Featured industry profiles
