Price Information Section

This section, on the right side of the AutoShare window, displays price information about the currently selected share.

At the top is shown the name of the share, with the most recent price and percentage change-on-the-day given in brackets. If the share has been removed from their stock market index, the word Delisted appears in brackets.

Below this is a grid of the share’s price on each day of the last year. Use the scroll bar to move back and forth through the year’s prices. For days on which the share was not listed on the stock exchange (either because it had yet to be listed, or because it had been removed), a hyphen (-) appears.

At the bottom of the section is a graph of share price (in pence) against time for the selected share, along with any moving averages specified on the Averages tab. The time axis is divided into months (January, February, and so on) covering the range specified in the Months box.

To display the exact price pointed to by the mouse, press the Left mouse button. The date and the price on that date are displayed just above the mouse pointer.

By default, a reference grid is displayed on the graph. To remove it, clear the Show Grid check box situated on the left beneath the graph.

Note: If there are not enough days of price data to construct a particular moving average, the graph for that moving average will not be displayed. For example, AutoShare would not display the 20-day moving average of a share that has only been on the market for 19 days.
