Time Period

Time Period is composed of two components: Timeframe and Data Frequency.

 

Timeframe

The first dropdown menu to the right of Time Period represents Timeframe. Timeframe is simply how far back in time to graph the data from the most current date. Time Period selections range from 3 months to 5 years. After making a selection from the dropdown menu you must click on the Graph button to refresh the graph and display your selection.

 

Data Frequency

The second dropdown menu to the right of Time Period represents Data Frequency. Data Frequency is simply the separation distance between data points plotted on the Stock Graph. Data Frequency selections are Daily and Weekly. A Daily Data Frequency will plot a data point for each day that the stock traded.
