Tutorial Guidance and Chart Improvements
Hello, traders!
This update makes tutorial progress easier to track, adds an alerts tutorial, and improves chart zooming, indicator panels, and MT5 weekly charts.
Tutorial Progress and Guidance
- Tutorial progress on the main menu: The Learning & Achievements button now shows your completed tutorial count and the total number of tutorials.
- New startup learning reminder: If you have unfinished tutorials, a reminder appears when you start the game. Choose Continue learning to open your first unfinished tutorial, or select Later. The reminder stops appearing once all tutorials are complete.
- New alerts tutorial: Instructions and illustrations guide you through creating a Horizontal template with alerts enabled and placing an alert line at a price you want to watch. Successfully triggering an alert completes the tutorial.
Easier Chart Zooming
- Hold Shift + mouse wheel over a chart to zoom its price axis and adjust the vertical range.
- In a multi-chart layout, use Ctrl + Shift + mouse wheel to zoom the price axes across your charts together.
Indicator Panel Improvements
- Refined headers, buttons, colors, and spacing for a more compact layout that matches the game's dark green style.
- Improved the placement of move-up, move-down, collapse, and expand controls. Fixed clicks being intercepted by the price-axis interaction area.
- Corrected hover readouts and crosshair behavior in indicator panels. The time cursor remains visible, while the main chart's price crosshair no longer interferes with indicator values.
Present Mode and MT5 Market Data Fixes
- Native MT5 weekly candles: The 7d timeframe for MT5 instruments now uses MT5's native weekly data. Weekly history is no longer limited by the range of loaded minute data, making it easier to view longer-term price movements.
- Corrected weekly candle countdowns and week rollover updates to follow the weekly boundaries provided by MT5.
- Fixed instrument switching during market data loading. You can now switch instruments while historical data loads or trading progress is restored. If a feed fails to load, you can still select another instrument. Related loading indicators have also been corrected.
