The Market Carpet tool is a StockCharts.com exclusive and a favorite of John Murphy’s. This unique format allows you to visually scan and rank as many as 500 stocks at a glance, quickly finding the best and worst performers for a given time period. Individual stocks are represented by colored squares, color-coded to indicate positive or negative performance. Hovering your mouse over a square reveals the symbol and its price information for the selected time period. Don’t let the unusual format intimidate you. Once you start playing with the sliders and indicators, you’ll see for yourself how fun and easy to use this tool actually is.
