Use of Multiple Screens
A stock market trader will often use several "screens" or charts on their computer with different time frames and price intervals in order to gain valuable information for making profitable buying and selling (trading) decisions.
Often expert traders will emphasize the use of multiple time frames for successful trading. For example, Alexander Elder suggests a Triple Screen approach.
- Longer-term screen: To identify the long-term trend and opportunities
- Middle screen: To identify the best day(s) on which to locate a buy or sell opportunity
- Finer screen: To identify the optimum intra-day price at which to buy or sell a given security

Famous quotes containing the words multiple and/or screens:
“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“That, of course, was the thing about the fifties with all their patina of familial bliss: A lot of the memories were not happy, not mine, not my friends’. That’s probably why the myth so endures, because of the dissonance in our lives between what actually went on at home and what went on up there on those TV screens where we were allegedly seeing ourselves reflected back.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
