A price chart built to work in

​

Six ways to read the price

• Candles and Hollow Candles — the classic open-high-low-close body, drawn filled or outlined. Hollow candles carry the same information but make direction easier to follow across a long stretch, because a rising close leaves an unfilled body.
• Bars — the OHLC bar, for anyone who reads price without the candle body.
• Line, Area and Baseline — close-only views. Baseline splits the series above and below a reference level, so a move through it reads at a glance.

​

Intervals the instrument actually has

• Nine intervals in total — one, five, fifteen and thirty minutes, one and four hours, and one day, week and month.
• Only the ones that exist for that instrument are shown, ordered from finest to coarsest.
• Each instrument opens on the interval that suits it rather than on a hard-coded default. Moving to a different ticker starts you on that instrument’s own default rather than carrying over a choice it may not support.
• Price steps come from the instrument too. Precision and grid spacing are read from its metadata instead of being inferred from the data, so a market quoted in steps of 0.10 no longer draws a grid ten times finer than it needs.

​

History that keeps coming

• Drag the chart back and the next stretch of history loads behind you, without the view jumping to meet it — what you were looking at stays where you put it.
• It works in both directions, so returning towards the present is as smooth as going back.
• One page at a time. Loading is throttled so a fast scroll queues work rather than firing a burst of requests, and switching interval or ticker abandons whatever was still in flight.
• The live price line knows where it belongs. It is drawn only when the chart actually reaches the present — scroll back to a stretch of 2019 and today’s price no longer floats over it.
• An empty period is no longer a dead end. Choose a span with no trading in it and the chart names the closest session and offers to jump there, instead of showing you nothing.

​

Stock pages: peers and the balance sheet

• Peer comparison, in the Peer Analysis section alongside Top Peers. A chart sets the ticker against the average of its peer group over six months or one year. Both series are rebased to a common starting point, so what you are comparing is relative movement rather than share prices that may be an order of magnitude apart — a $40 stock and a$400 stock sit on the same scale, and the divergence between them is the point of the chart.
• Balance sheet, in the Financials section. Bars for Total Assets and Total Liabilities year by year, with Debt to Assets drawn over them as a line. It is new to the platform with this release.

​

Smaller things

• A mistyped address stays where you typed it. An unknown path used to bounce you to a separate error page, which threw away the address you had entered — you could not see the typo, let alone fix it, and going back returned you to the same broken path. The error is now drawn in place, the address bar keeps what you asked for, and the server returns an honest 404 rather than a redirect. The same applies to a blog post, article or ticker that does not exist. The error screen also gains a Go back button, and Try again now retries the address you asked for rather than sending you to the home page.
• Ticker search opens straight away. The search panel used to be fetched over the network the first time you opened it in a session, so the first click gave you a placeholder and a wait. It now ships with the application.
• One panel at a time. Pinning is a property of the dock rather than of each panel, and opening a panel closes whichever one was open — so search, help and the rest no longer stack up or disagree about whether the dock is pinned. Each panel still remembers its own width.
• Tooltips follow one scale. Delays were set per component and had drifted apart — anywhere between 50 and 800 milliseconds. They now come from one shared scale: quick for icons and truncated text, ordinary for most controls, and deliberately slow for toolbars and table cells that the cursor merely passes over.
• The ticker header reads cleanly. Price and change no longer print the raw figure from the server: trailing digits are trimmed to a sensible precision for the size of the number, thousands are grouped, and values above a million are shown in short form.
• The undo notification can be dismissed with a close button rather than waiting out its timer.
• Picking a range on the chart navigator no longer flickers. Jumping to a date or changing interval used to let the selection snap back while data loaded; the requested window is now held until the chart confirms it, with a loading bar above the navigator.
• The screener survives an unsupported sort. Sorting a market by a column it does not carry — relative volume on crypto, market cap on exchange listings — used to fail the whole request and leave the table blank, and a shared link carrying that sort failed for everyone who opened it. The column is now dropped from the request with a dismissible notice, and the sort resets.
• Change after the close is measured correctly. For a stock in post-market the change and its colour are now taken from the daily change figure rather than from a previous close that the quote reports as the current session’s own.

​

Added

• Bars, hollow candles, line and baseline chart types
• Interval picker on the price chart, from one minute to one month
• History that keeps loading as you scroll back through the chart

• Six-month and one-year views on the peer comparison
• Balance sheet on stock pages, with assets, liabilities and debt to assets

​

Improved

• Ticker search opens straight away instead of loading on first use
• One side panel at a time, with pinning applied to the dock as a whole
• Interval choices follow what each instrument supports
• Range presets on the chart carry the change across the span they cover
• A period with no trading points you at the closest session instead of an empty chart
• The live price line shows only where the chart reaches the present
• Tooltips across the platform follow one shared scale of delays
• Prices and changes in the ticker header drop trailing noise and group thousands
• Ticker symbols in breadcrumbs always read in capitals

​

Fixed

• Sorting by a column a market does not support no longer empties the screener
• Change on a stock after the close is measured against the right session
• The undo notification can be dismissed
• Picking a range on the chart navigator no longer flickers
