35th FTO Release: More Ways to Analyze and Trade

The new version introduces a freemium model, expanded analytics, 32 new drawing tools, new indicators, and an improved mobile experience. We’ve also improved checkpoints, templates, and backtesting accuracy.

Expanded Analytics

  • Copy for AI. Copy all analytics or a single section as structured text to analyze further with your AI assistant (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or any other).

  • Drawdown Anatomy. A new section featuring a drawdown chart, your five deepest drawdown episodes, and the Ulcer Index.

  • Prop Challenge Pass Probability. The simulator supports seven drawdown models and can estimate your chances of passing with at least seven eligible trades.

  • Exit Optimizer 3D Chart. Explore results across different combinations of settings and compare your current selection with the best option found.

  • Monte Carlo Simulation. Simulated paths are now visible on the chart, and you can inspect individual paths in more detail.

  • Drawdown Luck Check. Several complex metrics have been replaced with a clear conclusion explaining how trade order affected your drawdown.

  • Equity Curve. Deposits and withdrawals are marked on the chart at the time they occurred.

  • Trading Session Analysis. View session hours and trades placed outside sessions. Trades are assigned to sessions more accurately based on entry time.

  • Performance Over Time. Filter results by individual symbol.

  • Position Holding Time. The chart shows the distribution of trade durations.

  • Trading hotkeys: Place market Buy/Sell orders, close positions, and cancel pending orders.

  • Fibonacci Retracement: A Reverse toggle changes the direction in which levels are displayed.

  • Reward/Risk Tool: The Risk value is saved between sessions, and each new tool uses its initial settings independently of changes made to the previous one.

  • Psychological Levels: Buttons on level lines let you jump to the moment price crosses a level.

  • Chart Controls: On-chart buttons for zooming, scrolling, maximizing, and resetting the view.

  • Candlestick Patterns: Signals highlight the candle by default. Arrows can be enabled separately.

  • Checklists: Move blocks up or down within a tab.

Prop Challenge

  • Added an optional profit consistency rule: the most profitable day must account for no more than 33.3% of total profit.

  • When moving between phases, the first-phase project and its order history are preserved. The project is no longer deleted automatically.

Improved Checkpoints and Recovery

  • Dashboard access. Find and view checkpoints, then create a project copy from a selected save.

  • Easier recovery after a crash. Choose a save to restore or create a copy from it without changing the original project.

  • More reliable saving. The app validates the project state before saving. During recovery, priority is given to checkpoints that have previously loaded successfully.

Important: Checkpoints are stored only in your current browser and do not sync across devices.

Interface and Mobile Experience

We’ve updated chart interactions and the mobile layout. The one-click trading panel fits better on narrow charts, and charts resize more reliably when side panels are opened.

We’ve also improved the labels and placement of Bid, Ask, and Last markers, refreshed futures icons, and improved rollover information. The first rollover marker once again shows the previous contract’s ticker.

Screenshots are cleaner, with unnecessary interface elements hidden. We’ve also improved tooltips, the readability of semi-transparent objects, and keyboard navigation in forms, search, and dialogs.

Fixes and Stability

  • Orders and execution. Fixed Stop Loss, Take Profit, and limit order behavior, including on CME futures. Quick order settings are preserved when reopened, and SL/TP lines remain visible with Hide Drawings enabled.

  • Navigation and price levels. Go To → Price, alerts, and the SL/TP optimizer now correctly recognize exact touches of a price level. Fixed missed order executions and partial position closures when jumping forward with Go To Date.

  • Candles and market data. Improved custom, weekly, and multi-day candle construction across trading sessions, time zones, and daylight saving changes. Refined CME settlement price handling and historical data selection for mystery projects.

  • Indicators. Fixed recalculation after timeframe changes and issues during playback at maximum speed. Resolved problems affecting MACD, Volume, CVD, Opening Range Breakout, YMWD High/Low, and custom timeframes in strategies.

  • Analytics. Corrected Equity, Max Drawdown, and related metrics, along with swap accounting, drawdown after withdrawals, and trading-day boundaries in prop challenges.

  • Templates and drawing tools. Fixed saving and applying custom styles through Save as default and Apply Default, Undo/Redo behavior, and restoration of tool settings. Resolved disappearing objects and issues with text, magnet snapping, and labels. Existing templates and projects retain their settings.

  • Chart smoothness. Fixed jumps and flickering when dragging or scrolling synchronized charts, as well as unexpected symbol changes on maximized charts. Improved data loading and interface behavior.
