# The Ticker Cloud

The StockCharts Ticker Cloud report displays the ticker symbols currently popular with members, specifically the 200 most-charted ticker symbols on the site over the past 15 minutes. The larger the symbol name on the report, the more popular the ticker symbol is. Clicking on one of the ticker symbols displays a SharpChart for that ticker symbol (clicking with the mouse wheel will launch the chart in a new tab).

The Ticker Cloud report can be accessed from the **Reports & More** section of the [Charts & Tools](https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/) page.

Checking the Ticker Cloud daily is a great way to see what's popular. You'll see the same symbols repeatedly, but you may also discover some unexpected gems making a big move. Viewing the cloud early in the day can give you a sneak peek at which stocks will be big before the market even opens.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Because requests for indexes and a few of the most popular ETFs outpace requests for any other symbols, we exclude SPY, QQQ, and all index symbols from the Ticker Cloud.

Click on an individual ticker symbol to view a SharpChart for that symbol. Clicking on the “Popular Stocks” link at the bottom of the panel will take you to the full Ticker Cloud report.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.stockcharts.com/charts-and-tools/reports-and-galleries/the-ticker-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
