Jigsaw daytradr 5.0 Beta: The Wait is Over, and It Was Worth It

Published on: September 19, 2024

Turns out, Friday the 13th wasn’t just a superstition – it actually threw us a curveball. But hey, in trading as in software development, sometimes you need to adjust your strategy mid-game. We missed our initial release date, but we used that extra time to knock it out of the park.

What’s New in daytradr 5.0 Beta?

Revamped User Interface:

• Configurable Menu: Resize and reorder icons to customize your workspace. Put your most-used tools exactly where you want them.
• Dark Mode: A sleek, modern look that’s easy on the eyes during those marathon trading sessions.
• Hamburger Menu: Minimize the menu to a floating daytradr icon. More screen real estate without losing functionality.

Enhanced Auction Vista Heatmap

• Smooth scrolling replaces the “typewriter” approach, making data easier to read and interpret.
• Ultra-precise timeframes down to 250ms. Catch those micro-movements you’ve been missing.
• Order and position markers directly on charts. See your trades in context with market movements.
• Fill markers with FIFO lines mapping entries to exits. Visualize your trade journey from start to finish.

Depth & Sales (D&S) Powerhouse

• New automated levels: Yesterday’s high/low, VAL/VAH, Overnight High/Low, POC, Mid Point, and Close. All the critical levels, right where you need them.
• Previous day’s volume profile now available on D&S. Spot potential support and resistance levels at a glance.

Streamlined Order Management

• Edit and cancel orders directly from Vista/Charts. No more switching between windows.
• New order and position markers for better visualization. Know exactly where you stand in the market.

Turbocharged Performance

• Shifted processing from CPU to GPU. Faster updates, smoother charting, even when the market’s on fire.
• Real-time data updates that keep pace with high-volume periods. No more lag when you need speed the most.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

• New Connection Manager built into the main menu. Manage your data feeds with ease.
• P&L Calendar integration. Track your performance right from the main interface.
• Auto-set Key Levels on your DOM. Critical levels appear automatically, saving you precious setup time.

For our customers:

• This release introduces a new architecture that offloads work from CPU to GPU.
• We’ve implemented extensive code to handle differently scaled monitors.
• There might be minor font scaling (sharpness) issues on some scaled monitors (e.g., 150%). We’re on it and expect to resolve this soon.
• Your feedback on various machine configurations is crucial. Help us refine these GPU and scaling changes!

Now, we know that’s a lot to take in. To help you navigate the changes, we’ve put together a quick reference guide video. It highlights the key differences between daytradr 4 and 5, so you can hit the ground running:
