Hey traders,

A theme has been emerging on the Builder’s lab over the last few weeks. People aren't asking for big new features, except a few which are already under development. They're asking for control over what's already there. Make my chart background lighter. Let me set my own time interval. Let me put text on a Fib. Small things that change how it feels to use Punch for 6 hours straight.

This week's release is mostly about that.

Chart customisation, properly

Until now, the only thing you could change on the chart itself was candle colours. Everything else (background, grid lines, the scales, the empty space around your candles) was locked to our defaults. Some of you have been writing in about this for a while.

That's open now. There's a new Chart settings panel with sections for:

• Chart Basics. Background colour and style (solid or gradient), grid lines, pane separators, crosshair colour and style, watermark.

• Scales. Text size and colour for axis labels. Line colour for the scale itself.

• Buttons. Show or hide the navigation arrows on the chart.

• Margins. Top and bottom margins as a % of chart height. Right margin in bars, so you can leave room to project lines past the latest candle.

• Chart Type Settings. The existing one. Candle colours, borders, hollow candles.

The bigger shift is that settings are now scoped per canvas. Change one canvas in your dashboard without it cascading to every chart you've ever opened. There's an "Apply to all canvases in this dashboard" checkbox next to APPLY if you do want the change to spread.

Trend-Based Fib Extension

If you trade pullbacks, you've probably been using Fib Retracement to find where a correction might end. The Trend-Based Fib Extension answers the other half of that question: where might price go after the pullback ends?

Three clicks instead of two. Point A is the start of the impulse move, B is the end, C is where the pullback completed. The tool projects extension levels from C using the A-to-B distance. 0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.618, all the standard ratios.

How to access: Drawing toolbar → Fibonacci → Trend-Based Fib Extension.

Custom time intervals

The fixed preset list (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, and so on) has been a recurring ask. If your strategy runs on a 7-minute candle or a 3-day candle, you've had to either change your strategy or trade somewhere else.

Now you can set your own. Tap "+ Custom" in the time interval picker, enter a number, pick the unit (minutes, hours, or days), and save. Up to 10 custom intervals can be pinned alongside the presets, synced across your devices.

NOTE : Integers only for now. No 1.5H or 2.5m.

Until next week. See you at the lab.
