AnyStock 1.5.1 update is available for download at our site. It includes some significant changes:

Bug fixes

• IMPORTANT: Formatting rules now enforce escaping comma when it is used as a decimal or thousand separator. In the previous version you could use something like that: {%Value}{decimalSeparator:,} although documentation states that comma should be escaped by back slash. Since 1.5.1 rules are strict, and only the following expression works correctly: {%Value}{decimalSeparator:\,}.

  If you are upgrading from previous versions, you should check your configs and change them so that they followed the comma escaping rule.

• Formatting in value highlighter now works correctly.
• addEventMarker method now works correctly with localeBasedDate.
• Scroller events are now fired in the correct order when unselected area is clicked.
• Null values are now correctly treated as nulls (not zeros).
• MFI indicator now reads the period parameter correctly.

Improvements

• onAnnotationRemove event now returns not only the ID of a removed annotation, but also this annotation as an object — a useful improvement for implementing an “Undo” feature.
• Full compatibility with Flex 4.5 Mobile SDK — you can use AnyStock SWC in your iOs or Android Flex projects.
• Range preset buttons behavior improved, particularly when you sync two different chart objects at one page.

Documentation updates

• Updating Event Markers Visual Settings Using JavaScript sample from Online HTML/JavaScript Samples Center has been fixed.
• onAnnotationRemove description was updated in JavaScript API Reference and AnyChart Stock Flex Component: API Reference.

AnyChart has licensed out AnyStock — the best web component for time-based and financial data visualization — to Bitcoin² project, thus becoming its technology sponsor.

Bitcoin is an open source peer-to-peer network created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto (whose real identity is unknown).

It tracks and verifies transactions in bitcoins — a digital currency which is generated by Bitcoin software. When the program is run, users’ computers are constantly trying to solve cryptographic puzzles to get bitcoins as a reward. As more coins are generated, the puzzles get harder, and the reward goes down, which makes Bitcoin a deflationary currency. Bitcoins can be converted to and from other currencies, primary by online exchange services. In August 2011, there were over 7.1 million bitcoins in existence.

Currently, a new version of the Bitcoin algorithm is developed - Bitcoin². Its aim is to raise bitcoins’ liquidity by making transactions safer, creating a congenial investment climate for financial companies, and providing person identification tools so that the system could be used within the international legal framework.

Bitcoin’s ideology is close to crypto-anarchism that expounds the use of strong public-key cryptography to bring about privacy and freedom.

• Bitcoin² Project — a new generation of virtual currency for B2B and B2C.
• AnyStock — Stock and Financial Flash Charting Component.

The ability to set left and right timescale paddings in pixels was in extreme demand, and we always do our best to provide our customers with as wide range of built-in technical indicators as possible - so we have decided not to put off the AnyStock 1.4.0 update that gives you the full control of timescale margins and three new technical indicators:

• Adaptive Moving Average
• Modified Moving Average
• Chaikin Volatility

Thus, AnyStock has become even better than before and now supports already 30 built-in and ready-to-use technical indicators.

A new version of AnyChart Stock and Financial Charts is available - AnyStock 1.1.1.

In this version, a new navigation feature has been added: users can now quickly select a particular area of a plot by holding the SHIFT key and moving a mouse, the video below illustrates this feature (and you can do it yourself on any AnyStock chart):

There is also an update of our help materials: a new sample has been added to Online HTML/JS Samples Center: Synchronizing Selected ranges in Two Different Chart Objects.

Two bugs have been fixed. Firstly, when allow_edit attribute forbids editing annotations, the points beneath them are now highlighted correctly. Secondly, using the applySettingsChanges() method no longer makes annotations invisible, and doesn’t prevent from adding new annotations.

Here is the roadmap for future versions of AnyStock: http://anychart.com/products/stock/roadmap/

We are proud to release AnyStock 1.1.0 – a new version of Stock and Financial Charts component, where some significant features have been added:

Drawing tools and annotations
AnyStock 1.1.0 offers a complete set of shapes for technical analysis that can be added to the chart plot, both programmatically and via user interface. Already added objects are easy to move, change, and remove.

Available shapes include: line segments, rays, trend lines, vertical and horizontal lines, rectangles, ellipses, triangles, trend channels, Andrew’s pitchforks, Fibonacci fans, Fibonacci arcs, Fibonacci retracements, Fibonacci time-zones, buy/sell signals, and custom text labels to mark important points and trends discovered.

Check out the online demo of these tools: AnyChart Stock: Drawing Tools and Annotations Demo

Flex Component
Flex developers have received the great opportunity to use AnyStock and build smart scrollable charts into their rich internet applications and trading solutions.

Improvements
A huge performance improvement for mouse over the chart area has been made, as well as an improvement in range picker behavior: input values and input masks are now internally trimmed.

Misc
Besides that, a few bugs have been fixed and several minor features have been added, such as:

• a wide range of options that are intended to control the display of missing points;
• a new boolean attribute named adjust_margins that allows to add dynamic margins;
• the possibility to use RangeArea, RangeSplineArea or RangeBar series types to visualize Bollinger Bands;
• the possibility to configure event markers position.
