Summary
Active Equity Charts display the recent price movement of equities selected by the related active-equity ranking. They provide a visual way to compare how the most active equities have moved during the displayed period.
The charts complement the activity table by adding price direction and timing to the ranking information.
Why it matters
An activity figure shows how much trading occurred, but it does not show the path of the price. The chart can help investors see whether an active equity moved steadily, changed direction, experienced a sudden move, or traded within a relatively narrow range.
This can make it easier to identify patterns that merit further review in a full security chart.
How to read it
Check the displayed time period and the labels on each chart. Read the line or plotted prices from left to right to follow the sequence of price movement.
Be careful when comparing the apparent steepness of different charts. Small charts may use separate vertical scales, so two similarly shaped lines can represent very different percentage or net changes. Use the accompanying price and change figures for a more accurate comparison.
Things to keep in mind
The charts reflect historical market data and do not predict future performance. Gaps or flat sections may result from limited trading, market closures, or unavailable observations.
The set of displayed equities can change when the activity ranking, date, period, or filters change. Corporate actions and price adjustments may also affect the shape of a chart.
