We’re delighted to announce the release of a new stable version of the Charting library for technical analysis and the Trading platform.
You’ll be glad to hear that we’ve added a whole bunch of useful new features. For example, now you can fill the background of the chart with a gradient of colors and create pictures of price movement using the new Path drawing tool.
We’ve also added a Data Window, Templates for drawing tools, displaying Ask and Bid lines, as well as many other improvements and fixes to the Trading platform.
Read on for a more complete list of improvements and fixes. Note that you have to be logged into your GitHub account to view the following links.
Improvements to the Charting Library for technical analysis and the Trading platform
- New drawing tool — Path (Github issue #5433). It allows you to mark the picture of price movement on the chart with a broken line, as well as to build a forecast of future changes.
- Fill the background of the chart with a color gradient (Github issue #5247). Add a gradient background fill to improve the readability of the information on the chart, or simply create a trendy effect to make the page look more stylish.
- Grouping symbols in the search window for all types of symbols (Github issue #5557).
- Ability to set the name of the layout through the parameter of the widget constructor (Github issue #5470).
- Session parameters are separated for use in display and calculations (Github issue #5531).
- Setting to disable the save hotkey (Github issue #5488).
- Ability to specify empty or another custom symbol type for the symbol search window (Github issue #5433).
- Added methods for getting the values of a bar or indicator by clicking on the chart (Github issue #5347).
Improvements to the Trading Platform
- A data window has been added to the right panel (Github issue #5455). Using this window, you can track the values of all symbols and indicators that are added to the chart.
- Drawing object templates (Github issue #4885). Save and apply frequently used combinations of drawing object settings in two clicks.
- Hiding the right panel by default (Github issue #5486). Use if you need more space to display the chart.
- A setting that allows the legend to be displayed on all charts in the workspace at the same time (Github issue #5479). For those who like to control everything at once!
- Displaying Ask and Bid line levels on the chart (Github issue #5203, Github issue #1798). The function is necessary for those who trade by looking at the chart.
- Added a plus button near the price scale (Github issue #5410). Modify the click on this button, allowing your users to perform the most necessary operations on the chart as quickly as possible.
- Ability to lock the Order Panel in an open state (Github issue #4746). Trading at arm’s length – always on the screen!
- Ability to disable the market status in the detailed information window in the right panel of the platform (Github issue #5354).
