Introducing Our Fancier ‘Basic’ Charts

I just finished rolling out a major upgrade to what I’ll call the ‘basic’ charts throughout the site.  Those are the charts that pop-up when you hover over (or tap on mobile) the chart icon on scan result listings. 

You’ll also see them on a “full page of charts” page:

And they appear on the “basic chart” tab on a stock’s main page:

These new charts are built on TradingView’s Lightweight Charts, the same underlying technology family as the full-blown TradingView widget you already use on our main stock pages. So you get a familiar look and feel, but tuned for speed and clarity in scan, list, and hover contexts.  The biggest change from the old “basic” charts is the interactivity.  You’ll notice that the charts now have a tooltip which shows the prices for the day your cursor is hovering over.  You can also zoom in and out and scroll the chart.

The upgrade is live now across scans, alerts, and multi-chart views. Because it is based on TradingView’s Lightweight Charts, it should feel instantly familiar while being much faster and more focused for day-to-day screening and monitoring.

These new charts are a big step forward for us, and they will keep evolving.  I’m still tweaking some things as I use the site more and notice little things. If you run into any issues, glitches, or confusing behaviors, or if you have suggestions for improving the charts, please send them my way so we can keep refining the experience.
