The old interface was better in many ways. It is harder to navigate between stocks now and lines do not all show up as configured (still).
- For several months the lines in the graphs when I add 3 simple moving averages do not always fully render. I could get around it by making the lines really thick.... annoying. New interface does not have option to make them thicker. not all 3 lines show up as configured.
- When I get the graph settings I want, I want to be able to step through each stock in my portfolio. This was missing, you have re-added it, but it always goes back to top, so I have to scroll down and find my place every time.
- The only reason I use Yahoo over Google Finance is because it is better and familiar... so if you keep making it different yet LESS functional for real use, I will abandon yahoo finance for something better.
Setup 3 portfolios...with at least 6 to 20 stocks in each. Setup three graph indicators. Use 22" or larger LED screen. Zoom to 120% on firefox. Now, navigate around all 3 portfolios and you tell me if its a good interface now?

I really don't understand your company. you had good thing, and then you throw it away. you bring in something that is useless, why would you spend money to make things worse. you should try to make effort to maintain data completeness, updated and its accuracy, not wasting your time and resources to do something stupid. please be a reasonable person that make sense.

To be sure, the new charts suck and have lost much capability, but the final straw that has me switching from Yahoo charts to Stockcharts.com is the now painfully long length of time it takes to go from one ticker chart to the next. Yahoo must have money to burn to put in upgrades people don't want......to put it mildly.

First of all I will say that I am happy that there are some very useful new indicators available, but there are a number of problems that make the charts almost unusable.
Specific problems with the new charts:
1. Vertical Space – (debilitating, horrible)
In order to quickly understand price action on a chart, you need vertical space. The same goes for seeing changes in indicators like the RSI or MACD. The default for the new charts is too cramped vertically, and when you add indicators everything just gets more cramped.
Solution: There is a lot of wasted space on the screen and it could be better organized with the goal of maximizing vertical space for the charts and indicators.2. Watchlist links – (debilitating, horrible)
Clicking on a link in the watchlist resets the entire watchlist. So say my watchlist is tickers A, B, ...Z, and I scroll to see something in the middle, like R, and it looks interesting so I click it to see the chart. That still works, except the watchlist resets with A at the top. So if I'm working my way down the watchlist, I need to scroll back down again until I find R. Now if my watchlist is 100 stocks, it becomes so time consuming that the watchlist becomes useless.
Solution: make it the way that it used to be.3. Watchlist display – (horrible)
Too much info forces the font to be too small and I need to strain my eyes to see the tiny little numbers.
Solution: make it the way that it used to be.
Better solution: Look at the Yahoo Finance android app, which shows ticker, price and then a big red or green box with the price change; clicking the box toggles between change and percent change.4. Display of moving averages – (annoying)
If I want to see the 50-day and 200-day SMA, sometimes the 200-day doesn't show up. To recreate this, look at a 3-month chant and configure it to show the 50 and 200 SMA. Then go to ticker AGN. On Sept. 22, I see the 50-day at 233.39 but I don't see the 200-day. If I zoom out to the 1-year chart, and then back in to the 3-month chart, I see the 200-day line cutting right through the middle of the chart at 230.90.
I think I see what you are trying to do here, which is not to clutter the chart with the 200-day in cases where all of the chart action is happening a long way above or below the 200-day, which is nice when you look at something like BABA, but in a case like AGN, that 200-day right in the middle of the action and it should show up.
Hack solution: zoom out to 1-year and then back in.
Better: I think you guys are working on this as a nice enhancement, so please notice this bug.If I had a base model car, with a nice engine but no frills, I'd be really happy to add satellite radio and gps, but not if it meant that they took the engine out so that I needed to now push the car everywhere. The core function of a chart is that you can glance at it and immediately see the price action; that's the engine of the car, and the steering is being able to quickly switch between charts for different tickers. So thanks for the satellite radio and gps, but come on guys, can you please put the engine back in the car and fix the steering?

You had a good thing going and then you had to change it! What part of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," do you not understand? Why do you keep removing features I use? NO, IT'S NOT BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE!!!

Who's in charge at Yahoo Finance ChartIQ? Please do your job and remove this inferior product, as it is not ready for public use. There are many bugs to be worked and it should've never been released. Why are you asking for the user's opinion on the product if you're not responding to the feedback? Please pull the plug while you still have an audience!

Who asked you to ***** up everything so royally? Are you blind and deaf to all these complaints from your long-time users? Please just give it up and return to the previous formats. As for this “forum,” you may as well drop it completely because evidently its only function is to provide an outlet for us previously loyal users to vent our frustrations.
