Changelog

Timeframe Selector Modes, Indicator Legend Sync & Price Scale Title Updates Feature Enhancement Bug Fix

The timeframe selector can now be docked to the header bar, floated on the chart, or hidden entirely — with full multi-chart support. Indicator period changes now correctly update the Y-axis price scale label. Multiple bug fixes for indicator legend updates.

• Timeframe Selector Modes — right-click the timeframe selector or click the new clock icon in the header to cycle between three modes: Float on Chart (draggable, current behavior), Dock to Header (inline buttons in the top bar), and Hide (completely hidden). Mode persists across page reloads
• Multi-Chart Timeframe Docking — in multi-chart layouts, docked timeframe buttons control whichever chart is currently selected. A "C1"/"C2"/"C3" label shows which chart is active. Switching charts instantly updates the highlighted timeframe button
• Global Timeframe Mode — the selected mode (float/dock/hide) applies to all charts at once. Switching to hidden or docked hides all floating selectors across every chart pane
• Price Scale Title Sync — changing an indicator's period from the legend settings now updates the label on the Y-axis price scale (e.g. "TSMA(100)" → "TSMA(110)"), not just the legend text
• ATR & Supertrend Legend Fix — fixed a bug where changing ATR or Supertrend period from settings would fail to update the legend name due to an undefined variable reference
• Legend Element Lookup Fix — indicator legend updates now correctly find the right DOM element by ID instead of falling back to the first entry in the pane

Callout Drawing Tool, Double Top/Bottom Patterns, Indicator Color Pickers & AI Chat Quick Actions Feature Enhancement Bug Fix

New callout drawing tool (like TradingView), Double Top & Double Bottom pattern detection in Auto Chart Patterns, full color customization for all indicators, AI chat quick actions for faster onboarding, 8 new superinvestors, and dozens of bug fixes.

• AI Chat Quick Actions — clickable quick action buttons inside the AI welcome message organized by category: General (S/R levels, buy analysis, full TA, news), Backtesting (golden cross, RSI mean reversion), and Indicators (Bollinger Bands, MACD). Screenshot and AI Signals buttons are now clickable directly from the welcome message
• AI Color Requests — ask the AI to apply indicators in specific colors (e.g. "Apply 20 SMA, make it red") — supports 30+ named colors and hex codes
• AI Preset Period Detection — SMA and EMA presets now extract the period from your message ("50 SMA", "200 EMA") instead of always defaulting to 20
• Indicator Color Pickers — every native indicator settings modal now includes a color picker with 12 preset swatches and a full custom color wheel
• Per-Line Color Settings — RSI (line, overbought, oversold), MACD (MACD line, signal, histogram), ADX (ADX, +DI, -DI), and Stochastic (%K, %D) each have individual color pickers for every sub-line
• Moving Average Source & Color — add MAs with custom source (Close/Open/High/Low) and custom color from the initial dialog and settings modal
• Indicator Colors Persist — all custom indicator colors now save to Firestore and restore correctly on page refresh
• Callout Drawing Tool — new TradingView-style callout: solid colored bubble with text and a triangular pointer anchored to the chart. Supports drag to move bubble, drag anchor dot independently, corner resize, double-click to edit text, and bubble/text color settings
• Callout Persistence — callouts save to Firestore and restore across page refreshes and symbol changes
• Double Top & Double Bottom Detection — new pattern type in Auto Chart Patterns. Strict detection: requires prior trend, two peaks/troughs at similar levels, neckline break confirmation, and volume analysis. Draws M-shape (top) or W-shape (bottom) with dashed neckline and labeled callout
• Auto Chart Pattern Settings — gear icon on the Auto Patterns legend opens a settings modal showing all detectable pattern types (Triangles, Wedges, Flags, Pennants, Channels, S/R, Double Top, Double Bottom, Breakouts) with toggles to enable/disable each. Settings persist across timeframe and symbol changes
• Auto Chart Pattern Callout Labels — every detected pattern now has a locked, non-interactive callout label showing the pattern name, positioned at the pattern's end point
• Locked Drawing Support — drawings with the locked flag are now skipped in hit-testing across ALL drawing types (trendlines, horizontal/vertical lines, arrows, rectangles, rays, parallel channels, callouts)
• 8 New Superinvestors — Stanley Druckenmiller, Ken Griffin, Steve Cohen, Howard Marks, Carl Icahn, Mohnish Pabrai, Li Lu, and Terry Smith added with verified SEC EDGAR CIK numbers
• Bollinger Bands & Stochastic Presets Fixed — AI preset indicators for Bollinger Bands and Stochastic now use the correct function names (ta.bbands, ta.stoch)
• "Apply" Keyword Detection — "Apply 20 SMA on the chart" now correctly triggers indicator mode instead of returning generic instructions
• Quick Actions "NEW" Badge Removed — cleaner look for the Quick Actions button in the AI sidebar

AI Assistant Overhaul, Indicator Source Settings & Feedback Buttons Feature Enhancement Bug Fix

Major AI Assistant improvements — the assistant now knows ChartingLens features accurately and will never make up settings or UI elements that don't exist. Custom indicators now properly handle price source requests (SMA from high, EMA from low, etc.) and multiple indicators in a single request (e.g. "add 9, 21, and 50 EMA"). New indicator settings modal includes Type (SMA/EMA/WMA/TSMA), Period, and Source (Close/High/Low/Open) dropdowns. Thumbs up/down feedback buttons added below every AI indicator and backtest result. New affiliate program with custom referral codes — creators and traders can sign up as affiliates and earn commissions on referrals.

• AI Assistant no longer hallucinates features — updated platform knowledge prevents the AI from describing settings, menus, or UI elements that don't exist in ChartingLens
• Custom indicators now respect price source requests — "SMA from high", "EMA from low", "moving average of opens" all generate correct code using the specified source
• Multiple indicators in one request — "add 9, 21, and 50 EMA" now generates all three as separate lines on the chart instead of just one
• New Source dropdown in MA indicator settings — change between Close, High, Low, and Open directly from the settings gear, no need to re-ask the AI
• New Type dropdown in MA indicator settings — switch between SMA, EMA, WMA, and TSMA (Time Series Moving Average) without removing and re-adding the indicator
• Thumbs up/down feedback buttons on every AI indicator and backtest result — thumbs down sends the user's prompt and AI response to support for review
• Dedicated AI feedback email template — separate from user feedback, includes user prompt, AI response excerpt, symbol, and user info
• Preset SMA/EMA/HMA indicators now correctly fall through to the AI for non-standard requests (custom sources, multiple periods) instead of returning default period-20 from close
• Indicator request detection expanded — "can you make", "can you create", "can you build" and price-source patterns now properly trigger custom indicator generation
• New affiliate program — creators and traders can sign up as affiliates with custom referral codes and earn commissions on every referred subscription

New Landing Page, Redesigned UI Across All Pages & Live Ticker Strip Design Enhancement

Complete landing page redesign with a new premium look and feel. New features include a live scrolling ticker strip with real-time stock and crypto prices, a split hero layout with embedded demo video, animated stat counters, a "How It Works" walkthrough section, and a trader testimonials section. Refreshed color scheme and typography (Playfair Display + Outfit) applied consistently across all pages — Features, Blog, Markets, Compare, FAQ, Pricing, Contact, and more. Stock pages now support 1D and 1W chart ranges powered by intraday data for more detailed price action. All feature pages updated with clean SVG icons replacing emojis. Market summary and ticker strip now show accurate daily change data.

AI Indicator Settings, Preset Indicators, Legend Improvements & More Feature Enhancement Bug Fix

AI-applied indicators now display their parameters in the pane legend with a settings gear to modify them on the fly. 7 new instant indicator presets save API credits. Indicator-only legends are cleaner — no more "Strategy" header on the price chart. AI pane indicators fixed to always use normal (non-logarithmic) scale.

• AI indicator legends now show lookback periods and settings (RSI(14), SMA(50), EMA(20), ATR(14), HMA(20), etc.) instead of raw variable names
• Settings gear icon (⚙️) on AI indicator legends — click to modify periods for RSI, SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, ATR, MACD, Stochastic, and Bollinger Bands
• MACD, Stochastic, and Bollinger Bands now have full multi-parameter settings modals (e.g., MACD: Fast, Slow, Signal periods)
• Settings modal with current parameter values, min/max validation, and one-click Apply that instantly re-executes the indicator
• Parameter changes persist in the legend — changing RSI from 14 to 20 updates the label to RSI(20) and recalculates
• 7 new instant indicator presets (zero API credits): RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ATR, SMA, and EMA — all available via Quick Actions
• Indicator presets now match on just the indicator name — "rsi", "macd", "add RSI to chart", "show bollinger bands" all work without needing specific phrasing
• Indicator-only legends no longer show a "Strategy" or "Indicator" header on the price chart — the delete (✕) button is now on the indicator's own legend entry in the pane
• Fixed: AI pane indicators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR, etc.) now always render in normal scale even when the price chart is in logarithmic mode
• Fixed: EMA Spread Histogram now renders as histogram bars instead of a line
• Fixed: Hull Moving Average preset now matches "Hull Moving Average" phrasing (was failing on "Moving Average" detection)
• Improved symbol search — "No results found" now explains which markets are covered (US stocks, crypto, forex, ETFs) and notes that broker-specific instruments like Deriv synthetics are not available
• Multiple simultaneous AI indicators — apply as many indicators as you want at the same time (RSI + MACD + Bollinger Bands, etc.). Backtests remain single-apply. Indicators and backtests no longer interfere with each other
• Each AI indicator has its own independent toggle-off (✕), settings gear (⚙️), and legend — removing one doesn't affect the others
• Fixed pane legend alignment — legends are now attached inside their pane element, so they stay correctly positioned when multiple indicator panes are added or removed

• Fixed mobile rendering of AI-drawn rectangles — boxes now properly anchor to price and time coordinates when panning and zooming on mobile devices
• Free tier: AI-applied indicators, backtests, and S/R levels are now one-time apply — switching symbols clears them. Premium users retain persistent reapply across symbol changes
