Suggestions for Platform Improvement
I have been using your backtesting platform and really appreciate the features it offers. However, I would like to submit a few user experience feedback points and feature requests that would greatly enhance the platform's usability:
1. Addition of Higher Timeframes (3-Month & 12-Month)
Issue: Currently, the maximum timeframe supported on the platform is the 1-Month chart.
Suggestion: Please add 3-Month (Quarterly) and 12-Month (Yearly) timeframes.
Use Case: These are extremely common and essential timeframes for macro-level market analysis and long-term trend identification.
2. Unrestricted Leftward Chart Scrolling
Issue: When I scroll to the very first candle on the far left of the chart (for example, on the 1-Month timeframe), the chart layout becomes locked. I cannot drag the screen any further to the left.
Suggestion: Allow users to continue panning left into the blank space past the first candle.
Use Case: In platforms like TradingView, users can drag the chart past the historical data limit into an empty space. This is crucial because being "locked" to the edge restricts the user's ability to smoothly zoom, scale, or visually adjust the chart layout for better analysis.
3. Dynamic Decimal Formatting for Fibonacci Extension Tool
Issue: The Fibonacci Extension tool currently forces a three-decimal display for all levels (e.g., it displays
-1as-1.000).Suggestion: Please implement dynamic decimal formatting or remove trailing zeros for integers.
Use Case: Showing
-1.000or-2.000for whole numbers is visually cluttered and unnecessary. Displaying a clean-1or-2would make the chart look much cleaner and more comfortable to read.
Thank you for your time and for continuously working to improve the platform. I look forward to seeing these updates in the future.
Best regards,
