Rectangle tool, zig zag indicator and chart controls

This is one of those weeks where I am really pleased to post a changelog. All 4 of these features have been in the builder’s lab and in my conversations with users and finally all of them are live now.

Let’s get started.

Zig Zag Indicator

I get a ton of requests for new indicators on Punch but this one was by far the most requested one. Zig Zag indicator connects swing highs and swing lows with straight lines, filtering out the noise in between. You can customize the indicator by setting the price deviation threshold (default 1%) and a pivot depth (default 5 bars). Moves smaller than your threshold get ignored, leaving you with just the trend structure.

This is available on Android now and will be on desktop by this weekend

Option Price Charts in All Timeframes

Option price charts were previously limited to timeframes of 1 hour and below. That restriction is removed. You can now view option price charts across every timeframe available on Punch.

If you trade positional options or want to see how premiums have moved over days and weeks, this was a gap. It's filled.

Available on both desktop and Android now.

Rectangle Drawing tool

This one got hundreds of votes : Rectangle tool

The standard rectangle tool can be used to mark consolidation zones, price ranges, or areas of interest. It comes with full customizability for border colour, thickness and style, along with fill opacity control and extend left/right toggles.

The rotated rectangle variant is more suited for marking diagonal channels or angled consolidation patterns that don't sit horizontally.

Chart controls

This one is specific for Punch desktop users.

Desktop charts now have dedicated zoom (+/-) and scroll (left/right) controls that appear when you hover over the chart in addition to the recentre icon you're already familiar with.

That’s all for today.

We're working through the other requests on Builder's Lab. A few more drawing tools, trailing SL, protection order for equity, and kill switch are all under development right now.
