Immediately, 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. In brief: we saved the enduring design and ease you all love, however unleashed its most potential. Earlier than we get into all the brand new options, listed below are a number of vital 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The brand new model will run in parallel with the outdated app for a lot of months at testing.spreadcharts.com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 comprises bugs, and its closing kind 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 cellular 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 person 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Charts in your watchlist from the outdated app ought to work within the new app (and vice versa), solely drawings and highlights gained’t be transferred.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.
Velocity
This was our primary focus. A brand new charting engine, along with numerous optimizations on our aspect, makes the app a lot sooner. Beforehand, there was a hardcoded restrict of 30 years on the utmost size of knowledge displayed in a single chart. Not anymore. For instance, check out this steady contract for wheat since 1959! It’s your complete historical past for this commodity.
The speedup can be most obvious when working with a number of charts directly. That mentioned, be mindful your personal PC or gadget stays the limiting think about efficiency. Our software program is exclusive in that it provides you the liberty to open many charts directly, a few of them composed of a number of subcharts of steady contracts spanning a long time. That might be tens of 1000’s of knowledge factors. No different platform permits this! Past a sure level, you simply want {hardware} highly effective sufficient to make it work.
New option to manipulate charts
That is truly essentially the most important change to the best way you’re used to working with charts. We’ll be particularly interested by your suggestions on this alteration within the survey we’ll ship later this yr.
We unified the best way you management the charts on PC with cellular 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 – each day (D), weekly (W), or yearly (Y) – and use your mouse wheel (or pinch to zoom on cellular) 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 interested by your suggestions about this alteration as soon as we ship out the survey later this yr.
All the things strikes!
Our customers love how simple it’s to maneuver the information of their watchlist round by simply dragging and dropping them the place they need.
And now, every thing could 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 directly.
Darkish mode
Should you’re used to working at night time, this can be a really nice enchancment. Simply change between the sunshine and darkish themes within the high proper nook of the app.
We nonetheless have to regulate the colours in some chart varieties right here and there, however I’d say this may significantly cut back your eyestrain even within the beta model.
Multilingual assist
Sure, America First. That’s additionally true for nation rating by variety of SpreadCharts app customers. Nevertheless, regardless of being primary, customers from different international locations collectively outnumber People. And never all of them converse English. So, your complete app’s interface can now be switched to a distinct language utilizing the toggle within the high proper nook.
Supported languages at the moment 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 electronic mail.
New Analysis
Final yr, we started sending quick analysis notes by electronic mail as a bonus to our common video analyses. And also you like it. The suggestions has been overwhelmingly optimistic. Due to this fact, I made a decision to change the analysis format totally to textual content any further (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 kind. I shoot these movies with none preparation, so there are frequent umms and ahhs. Generally I even overlook to say one thing through the recording, or waste time on unimportant particulars. Written articles remedy 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 components that you just’re not interested by (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 converse English. Each analysis article can be instantly accessible 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 unique if you happen to can.
What’s subsequent?
Within the coming months, we’ll proceed to squash bugs and implement enhancements primarily based on suggestions from premium customers. Furthermore, we’ll begin engaged on cellular optimizations, as that is one other main aim for this new launch.
So, keep tuned!
