      Next, you will need to look to the third of the five tools needed toeffectively evaluate the "condition" of a stock: charts. The most advancedtrading platforms have a function that allows the trader to "link" chartsto the Level II box. By doing this, the trader can type in a stock symbolin the Level II box and immediately see the intraday and daily chart, aswell as different technical indicators. For example, by linking four chartsto the Level II box, a trader can see a candlestick, bar, tick-by-tick, andline chart at the same time. Depending upon the trading platform, thetrader can also see technical indicators, such as overlays of other stocks,Bollinger Bands, oscillators, and moving averages. Without the chart-linking function, a trader would have to type in the ticker symbol fivetimes to get a complete "picture" of the stock. By the time he or shecompletes this action, the stock may already have moved one or two levels.Technical analysis is discussed in detail in Technicals, Chapter 11 of thisbook, so I will not go into too much detail here. Use the "planetaryalignment" technique described there to further evaluate the stack'scondition.
