TopScope in TransStock: multi-period stock comparison in one chart

1–2 mins
Visual comparison of the 11 Select Sector SPDR ETFs and SPY ETF using TransStock's new TopScope chart feature.

Fewer tabs, faster insight. With TopScope Compare multiple stocks over different periods in a single graph. You can see the evolution of each stock over time, optionally sort the X-axis by performance, and normalize the Y-axis for a balanced view.

Why TopScope?

  • One look, multiple periods – per share a vertical line with symbols (e.g. diagonal cross or circle) for 3–5 periods.
  • Arrangement of your choice – X-axis alphabetically or sort by performance over the chosen period to show winners and losers.
  • Balanced Y-axis – hide extremes/normalize to reduce outliers and make the middle group easier to read.

Example: Sector SPDR ETFs

In the example, you compare 12 stocks (11 sector ETFs and SPY as a reference). The length of the vertical line shows the magnitude of the movement; the order and position of the symbols reveal direction and strength over time. This allows you to quickly spot relative strength/weakness and potential reversals that deserve closer attention.
