On Heatmaps, What's New and Holdings

This week's update touches both Android and desktop. A redesign, a feature port, a catch-up fix, and a new way to stay updated.

P&L Pill Redesign

This came directly from conversations I've had with traders over the past couple of weeks. The P&L pill on your chart (for both options and equity) has been redesigned. It now shows a colour-coded lot count, P&L value, and an exit button. The yellow colour code on the lot count represents a call whilst the blue depicts a put. 

Heatmap View on Android

We launched heatmap view on desktop a few weeks ago and the response was good. It's now on Android too.

Toggle it on from the icon in the top right of the watchlist menu. Heatmap sorts and groups any of your watchlists by price % change. Each scrip is colour-coded: shades of green for positive, shades of red for negative. The darker the shade, the larger the move.

Holdings on Desktop

Desktop has been playing catch-up with Android, and we had intentionally deprioritised some features knowing you could always check them on mobile. Holdings was one of them. That's now live. You can check your holdings directly on Punch Desktop now. 

What's New Widget on Desktop

We update the app frequently based on Builder's Lab feedback and direct conversations with users. The changelog and roadmap are always available on Builder's Lab, and we share a weekly email too. But some of you told us you still weren't able to track the updates. 

So we built an in-app What's New widget on Android a while back. This release brings the same to desktop, covering desktop-specific updates.

Bug Fixes

Spot price freeze: a few of you reported the spot price not updating while option prices were unaffected. We're actively fixing this and it should be resolved by 24th April.

Option chain loading: there's a known issue with the option chain not loading correctly. If you face this, please report it on Builder's Lab or reach out to the support team for a quick resolution.

Key Levels indicator: we've added a larger font size option to improve readability. You can select the size from the indicator settings menu.

Duplicate candles: fixed a bug causing duplicate candles on certain timeframes.
