Long-Term Health Chart Icons Explained

Published: August 6, 2025

Last Updated: April 24, 2026.


As you review position charts in our program, you may notice some icons on the charts.  In our example below, you can see a green "E" bubble, a red and yellow "I" bubble, and even a red "H" bubble.


 

This article will explain what these icons represent.

 

If you hover your mouse over any point in the chart, you will see a data box that contains the following information:

  • Most recent price for your stock.
  • The Yellow Zone price (the price the position must drop to enter the Yellow Zone).
  • The Stop Loss price (the price the position must drop to enter the Red Zone).
  • Volume shows us how many shares are being traded.
  • Historical Volatility shows us the average VQ for that position.

 

Now let's get into the icons.


You may have noticed green "E" and yellow and red "I" bubbles on your chart.  These represent the start of a new Health Indicator cycle.  When a position goes from our Red Zone to our Green Zone, this is called an Entry Signal, hence the green "E" bubble. 


After the Entry signal has been triggered, the Yellow and Red Zones become active. That is what the red and yellow "I" represent. These zones have been initiated. We'll show you on the chart where the price would need to fall to enter the Yellow or Red Zone. This is represented by a yellow and red line.


 

What happens when the position enters one of these zones?

Bells will appear!



You can see the yellow and red bells in our example above.  These represent the position falling into the Yellow or Red Zone.

 

What happens if the stock keeps going up after an Entry Signal?


That's when the red "H" bubble will appear.  This represents a recent high close price.
