At present, we’re excited to indicate you the foremost new model of the SpreadCharts app that’s been within the works for a very long time. Briefly: we saved the long-lasting design and ease you all love, however unleashed its most potential. Earlier than we get into all the brand new options, listed below are just a few necessary factors:
- The brand new model will run in parallel with the outdated app for a lot of months at testing.spreadcharts.com
- This new app is a beta model – it accommodates bugs, and its closing type may also be influenced by a survey we’ll ship to premium customers.
- The desktop model is supported for now, as we haven’t actually centered on the cell model but (it really works, however isn’t optimized in any respect).
- Use the identical login credentials within the new app (FYI: don’t overlook to reset your password if you happen to haven’t executed so already since that bug in December).
- The testing model has up-to-date market information, indicators, and can load your consumer information (watchlist, charts).
- Charts in your watchlist from the outdated app ought to work within the new app (and vice versa), solely drawings and highlights gained’t be transferred.
And now, the thrilling new options.
Pace
This was our primary focus. A brand new charting engine, along with numerous optimizations on our facet, makes the app a lot sooner. Beforehand, there was a hardcoded restrict of 30 years on the utmost size of information displayed in a single chart. Not anymore. For instance, check out this steady contract for wheat since 1959! It’s the whole historical past for this commodity.
The speedup might be most obvious when working with a number of charts without delay. That stated, take note your personal PC or machine stays the limiting think about efficiency. Our software program is exclusive in that it offers you the liberty to open many charts without delay, a few of them composed of a number of subcharts of steady contracts spanning many years. That could possibly be tens of hundreds of information factors. No different platform permits this! Past a sure level, you simply want {hardware} highly effective sufficient to make it work.
New strategy to manipulate charts
That is truly probably the most vital change to the way in which you’re used to working with charts. We’ll be particularly involved in your suggestions on this variation within the survey we’ll ship later this yr.
We unified the way in which you management the charts on PC with cell gadgets. That is additionally the norm on different charting platforms. As a substitute of choosing a interval with buttons, you now choose the candle aggregation – day by day (D), weekly (W), or yearly (Y) – and use your mouse wheel (or pinch to zoom on cell) to zoom in/out on the chart, or drag the chart left or proper to maneuver the displayed interval.
We’d wish to ask you to offer it a while and take a look at it out. We’ll be very involved in your suggestions about this variation as soon as we ship out the survey later this yr.
Every thing strikes!
Our customers love how straightforward it’s to maneuver the information of their watchlist round by simply dragging and dropping them the place they need.
And now, all the pieces may be moved round. Not simply tags within the tag selector, but in addition tabs with charts, and even the subcharts themselves inside a tab!
Plus, a neat little function to shut all chart tabs without delay.
Darkish mode
Should you’re used to working at night time, this might be a really nice enchancment. Simply swap between the sunshine and darkish themes within the prime proper nook of the app.
We nonetheless have to regulate the colours in some chart varieties right here and there, however I’d say it will significantly scale back your eyestrain even within the beta model.
Multilingual help
Sure, America First. That’s additionally true for nation rating by variety of SpreadCharts app customers. Nonetheless, regardless of being primary, customers from different nations collectively outnumber People. And never all of them communicate English. So, the whole app’s interface can now be switched to a special language utilizing the toggle within the prime proper nook.
Supported languages at present are:
- English
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
- Czech
We used machine translation for DE, IT and ES, so if you happen to encounter any nonsense, we’d be grateful if you happen to tell us on X or by e-mail.
New Analysis
Final yr, we started sending quick analysis notes by e-mail as a bonus to our common video analyses. And also you like it. The suggestions has been overwhelmingly constructive. Subsequently, I made a decision to change the analysis format completely to textual content any longer (articles with charts).
My motivation:
- I hate making these movies.
- …and subsequently, the standard of those movies is underwhelming. Not the content material, however the type. I shoot these movies with none preparation, so there are frequent umms and ahhs. Typically I even overlook to say one thing throughout the recording, or waste time on unimportant particulars. Written articles clear up this, as they permit me so as to add/take away something throughout proofreading as soon as I end the textual content.
- Articles are extra concise and you may simply skip the elements that you just’re not involved in (for instance, about markets you don’t commerce). This protects your time.
- We will translate the texts into totally different languages, opening our Analysis to extra individuals who don’t communicate English. Each analysis article might be instantly out there upon launch in DE, IT, ES and CZ, along with EN. We use machine translation (OpenAI API), and the GPT fashions will preserve enhancing over time, however I nonetheless advocate you learn the English authentic if you happen to can.
What’s subsequent?
Within the coming months, we’ll proceed to squash bugs and implement enhancements based mostly on suggestions from premium customers. Furthermore, we’ll begin engaged on cell optimizations, as that is one other main objective for this new launch.
So, keep tuned!
