The market overview lets you quickly compare price movements on different timescales.
The overview shows three gauges, for the price movement during the last 60 minutes, 24 hours, and 5 days.
Each gauge shows the current price in relation to the high-low range (with prices). A gauge which is
mostly blue means that the current price is towards the top end of the range; orange means that the price
is towards the lower end of the range. The inner bar then shows the open price for the period, and the
corresponding % change.
Below the gauges are three simple candle charts, letting you compare short-term market activity on
the M5, M15 and H1 timeframes.
The S&P 500 is a share index of 500 large companies listed on stock exchanges in the USA. It is one of the most
widely followed indices in investing all over the world. However, unlike other indices, its constituents are not based
solely and automatically on market capitalization (largest companies), but are instead subjectively selected. This has
led to people asserting that the S&P 500 is more like a managed investment fund than a typical share index.
