Version 10.5.0

Release Date: September 9, 2026

AI Implementation

Trendline Command

Added support for the Chart Explainer plugin to add and edit the Trendline drawing tool.

See the CLI tutorial for usage details.

Chart Explainer Drawing Tool Enhancements

Extended Chart Explainer to support line, ray, and rectangle drawing tools with full styling options.

Supports customizable line color, line pattern, line width, and fill color through conversational commands

Reference Data

Chart Explainer can now add, remove, and customize Reference Data Datasets on a chart.

You can also use the Command Line Interface plugin to add, remove, and customize Reference Data Datasets on a chart.

Expandable AI Proxy Server

Refactored AI proxy server with modular provider architecture supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and FinTech Studios.

Includes request/response normalization for Chart Explainer compatibility, shared SSE transformation utilities, and configurable provider switching.

See the README.md found in htdocs/chartiq/plugins/chartexplainer/proxy/README.md for more information.

Copy Chart Explainer Answers

Added the ability to copy chat responses with standard copy commands as well as a dedicated copy button.

Shading Commands

Added support for shading chart regions with the new shade, dshade, and dtshade CLI commands.

shade shades the region between comparison series, with optional crossover or fixed colors.
dshade shades vertical bands, horizontal bands, or rectangles bounded by existing line drawings.
dtshade shades a date range using calendar dates or natural-language dates such as today, yesterday, last-week, and ytd.

See the CLI tutorial for more information.

Trend Line Callout Text

Added an option to switch between system-generated trend line callout text and user-defined text.

When enabled, users can edit the callout message to add richer annotations. Disabling the option restores the standard automatically generated text.

New "callout-mode" attribute for WebComponents.DrawingSettings.

AI Range Periodicity Control

Improved range handling so preset and custom range updates can apply the intended periodicity with the range change, preventing automatic defaults from overriding the selected chart interval.

AI CLI Support for SignalIQ Data

Introduced a new CLI command that allows the AI plugin to retrieve and inspect signalIQ data programmatically. This read-only access enables the AI to evaluate existing study signal results from the chart layout, providing structured signal output for downstream analysis and explanation.

See the CLI tutorial for more information.

Linton Indicators

Introduced the Linton Indicators, a suite of algorithms developed by David Linton at Updata.

The suite includes Linton Price Targets, which are derived from Point and Figure vertical price targets developed in the 1940s. This fully rules-based system generates upside or downside price targets from buying and selling thrusts on any chart. Linton Indicators can be drawn with a simple key press, where supported, or saved as part of a chart template.

Contact your Account Manager to learn more or to include the Linton Indicators with your copy of the library.

Workspaces

"Workspaces" were added allowing a user to preserve complete chart configurations, including multi-chart layouts, periodicity, drawings, studies, comparisons, reference datasets, signals, chart preferences, and chart types.

Workspaces indicate the active context and support saving, creating, renaming, and deleting configurations. Saved Views retain their existing behavior for saving chart displays.

Clear All Drawings Confirmation

Added a confirmation dialog when clearing all drawings. Previously, clicking the button removed all drawings immediately without confirmation.

Long and Short Drawing Tools

Two new drawing tools for traders to mark entry, target, and stop-loss levels on a chart.

Each tool displays calculated risk/reward ratios with adjustable zones, customizable colors, and configurable labels.

Figure. Long and Short Position Drawing Tool

New reward-color, risk-color, and show-labels attributes for WebComponents.DrawingSettings.

Advanced histogram column types

Added Clustered, Stacked, and Separate column types for advanced histogram series in the Series Edit dialog. Column type selections are preserved in saved views.

Important: This enhancement applies only to advanced histograms and does not affect simple histogram series, such as comparison series.

Reference Data Search Results Consolidation

Grouped related datasets by frequency variants in search results with inline variation buttons.

Users can now view multiple frequency options (e.g., Yearly, Quarterly) for the same dataset in a single search result item and click to select their preferred variation.

Chart Converter

Newly added module provides a conversion tool that maps external layouts into ChartIQ compatible serializations to simplify the migration process.

Contact your Account Manager to learn more.

Clear Chart Command

Renamed the reset command to clear to reset charts to their default state.

See the CLI tutorial for more information.

Market Session

Fixed market session boundary handling to correctly include closing auction ticks in regular trading hours.

Previously, streaming data with timestamps exactly at the market close time (for example, 4:00:00.000 PM for NYSE/NASDAQ) were incorrectly classified as after-hours ticks, causing the closing price to be excluded from the final regular-hours bar. This fix makes the session boundary inclusive, ensuring that ticks arriving at or before the market close time are included in regular hours.

New CIQ.Market#getRegularCloseForDay function
New has_closing_auction parameter for the NYSE Market Definition. The default value is true.

Node 20 Update

Node 20 reached end-of-life in April 2026. All projects have been migrated to Node 24 starting with v10.5.0.
