What's new in TradegunCharts

What changes in TradegunCharts, version by version, told for the people who trade with it. The application updates itself: each card shows the version number TradegunCharts has from that day on. Yours is under Help → About; if it matches the one on the card, you already have everything it describes. Versions reach the beta channel first and the stable channel afterwards.

Latest release

Version 1.4.4-beta

New features

Phone notifications, choosing which

  • Filled orders reach your phone with the side, contracts, symbol, price and account. Rejected ones, with the broker's reason.
  • In Preferences → “Push notifications (ntfy)” you choose which notices are sent: orders, line alarms, rectangle alarms and indicator alerts.
  • Orders on the simulated account only notify you if “Also those of the simulated account” is ticked.

Point of control in the candle view

  • View → “POC on candles” marks each candle's point of control with a line when the chart shows candles only, without the footprint detail.

Help menu

  • It brings together “Check for updates”, “Licence” (status, key and computer) and “About”, with the version and its release date.

Improvements

The Auto button fits the period you choose

  • Auto shows the most recent candles set in Preferences (300 by default; 0 for all loaded), across the panel's width and with their high and low inside, even if the price axis had been moved by hand.

Clearer buttons

  • Every button with text has its icon, including coloured and disabled ones.

Bugs fixed

  • Dragging the price axis to zoom out no longer gets stuck at a limit.

28 October 2026

Version 1.0.1-beta

New features

First release candidate for 1.0

  • Stable and beta update channels: in Preferences you choose whether to get each version as soon as it is out or wait for the stable one.

New indicators

  • Elliott waves, a strong order block detector (Strong OB) and VWAP.
  • Ease in the volume and delta panel: how far each side moves price per contract traded (effort versus result).
  • The same indicator can be added several times with different settings, from a catalogue with its description.

Drawings and alarms

  • Rectangles have an alarm, like lines: it sounds once when price enters them.
  • The text colour of drawings can be changed; white by default.

Licence

  • See the licence status, deactivate it on this computer to use it on another, or change the key.

Improvements

Faster trading

  • Closing the position from the chart, the shortcut or the menu is immediate, without confirmation.
  • The break-even line shows its ticks from the entry and its result while you drag it.

Zoom

  • The wheel zooms horizontally over the chart and vertically over the price axis. Menus have icons.

Bugs fixed

  • When switching instruments, the chart no longer shows old candles with a gap up to the live candle for a while: the broker's history replaces the saved candles straight away.

27 October 2026

New features

Trade journal

  • Statistics, a results calendar and the performance of each trade, with filters by account and instrument.

  • Configurable number of strikes per side in the chain.

Portfolio hedging

  • A hedging strategy with short micros, first simulated and then with real orders, kept apart from the manual trading exits.

Chart

  • A box to type the ticker next to the instrument selector, and the instrument's currency on the price axis.
  • Text inside rectangles, and lockable drawings so they aren't moved by accident.

Improvements

Notices and references

  • Loading notice when changing timeframe or history days.
  • The Fibonacci extension marks level 2 instead of 2.2.
  • The HUD shows whether the market is ranging or trending.

26 October 2026

New features

Options chain

  • Clicking the bid or the ask builds the strategy leg by leg, with its maximum loss and profit, break-even points and expiry curve.
  • A verdict on credit put spreads with their net limit, and a Greeks window.

Gamma levels

  • Choice of level source: our own calculation with the CBOE chain or TanukiTrade, with levels for gold and bitcoin and our own Max Pain.

Indicators and watchlist

  • Bollinger Bands, EMA and SMA.
  • A mini chart of the day, the currency and the market status of each instrument in the watchlist.
  • A floating window with the latest candles of the lower timeframe.

Updates and licences

  • Our own download server with update channels, and a per-computer licence activated at start-up.
  • An eye in the menu bar hides the amounts on screen.

Improvements

Chart

  • Vertical zoom moves smoothly, without jumps.
  • Each panel reloads only its own candles and can have its own zoom level from which figures are shown.
  • The account PnL is always shown in dollars.

Bugs fixed

  • When adding to a position, stops no longer jumped because the side panels used an old price.
  • Each timeframe bar is independent again.

25 October 2026

  • The left panel headers share the same style on every tab.

Bugs fixed

  • A long or short with the stop and target the wrong way round no longer stops the chart from drawing.

24 October 2026

Version 0.20.91

New features

Long and short tools

  • With the B and S keys you draw a position with its risk and reward zones in dollars, marking how far price has already travelled.

Latency watched

  • If data arrives late, a warning on the chart and in the status bar.

Improvements

Start-up and connection

  • At start-up the saved candles appear instantly, without waiting for the broker; without a connection, the chart stays available with them.
  • When a new version is found, the update dialog opens.

Convenience

  • Ctrl + drag copies a drawing, the cursor turns into a pencil while drawing, and the “With SL and TP” box is remembered.
  • The bar timer stops when there is no market, and CRT splits its statistics into regular and extended sessions.

23 October 2026

New features

Gamma profile by strike

  • Net gamma bars, or calls and puts separately, with 0DTE or all expiries, on both sides of a central line.

Chart

  • Key Candle Indicator and the current session's profile in Valhalla.

Improvements

Performance

  • Charts that don't change aren't redrawn, and repaints are grouped across charts and windows: smoother with several panels open.

CRT and exit

  • The CRT entry triggers when the level is touched, with the stop one tick beyond the sweep and the risk/reward ratio on the drawing.
  • On closing you can save and exit, exit without saving or cancel.
