This week we have two important releases: Indicator Templates and candle customisations.

A few weeks ago I was speaking with a few users to understand their experience trading on the newly launched desktop terminal. And although the multi-chart layouts and multi-dashboard support were well received, one fundamental issue became a huge friction point.

Traders mentioned that they had to replicate the same setup of indicators and timeframes every time they would create a new dashboard or even change symbol within a dashboard. This had become a very tedious process.

Hence, we have launched Indicator Templates. A simple but significant feature that lets you set up your indicators the way you like — EMA, VWAP, RSI, whatever combination you trade with. Save it as a named template. Next time you open a chart or switch scrips, one click brings back your entire setup. No re-adding indicators, no reconfiguring colours and settings.

You can optionally lock a template to a specific scrip or timeframe. So a "BankNifty 5m Scalper" template can switch your chart to BankNifty on 5-minute automatically when loaded.

Favorite your most-used templates for one-click access from the toolbar. Punch also ships with a set of default templates for common setups — F&O scalping, swing trading, equity day trading — so you have a starting point even before you build your own.

Templates sync across devices.

The second big update is that we have brought the candle customisation feature over from Android. You can now set separate colours for body up and body down, toggle candle borders on or off with independent border colours, and switch to hollow candles. Changes apply globally across all your charts.

There were also a couple of minor bug fixes on holdings calculation and a UI fix for the Squeeze Momentum indicator.

Till next week. Keep posting on Builder's Lab and guide Punch in the direction you want.
