Hi MRers,
Is anyone out there a real whizz with stocks and finance? I love the look of the new iOS 12 stocks app and check it often, but there doesn't seem to be a legend anywhere that explains what some of the information actually means.
In particular I'm confused about two points. In the attached image I've circled two areas in red:
1. Shows a percentage increase or decrease of the stock, but over what time frame? Is it just showing the % change for the current day only, and if so I guess it's based on NYSE opening times? (I'm based in Japan)
2. The trend line also, is this showing the current day only as well? And what does the dotted-line mean? It sometimes doesn't appear for all stocks (see AMZN for example).
I've searched everywhere but I can't seem to find any documentation for this...
