2. Roadmap

This roadmap is provided for reference only. It describes product direction, feature ideas, and known gaps, but it is not a delivery commitment and not every item listed here will necessarily be built or released. Priorities can change as we learn from users, provider constraints, reliability work, and the complexity of charting features.

Product direction

Fractal Chart is focused on becoming a complete market analysis workspace: fast charts, serious technical tools, reliable data, strategy testing, custom authoring, and AI-assisted review in one place.

The near-term priority is depth inside the chart workspace. Before adding broad adjacent products, we want the core charting experience to feel complete for discretionary traders, technical analysts, and strategy authors.

Now

These areas are the current foundation and should continue to receive polish, reliability work, and documentation:

• Chart workspace — multi-pane layouts, synchronized crosshair, series styles, bar replay, event overlays, chart settings, screenshots, saved layouts, and browser-persisted preferences.
• Drawing tools — select, pencil, highlighter, text, trend line, ray, extended line, trend angle, info line, zigzag line, horizontal line, horizontal ray, vertical line, cross line, rectangle, parallel/flat/disjoint channels, regression trend, anchored VWAP, the full Fibonacci family (retracement, trend-based extension, channel, time zone, trend-based time, speed-resistance fan and arcs, wedge, circles, spiral), pitchforks (Andrews, Schiff, modified Schiff, inside, pitchfan), Gann fan/box/square, date and price range, anchored volume profile, long position, and short position.
• Indicator library — built-in technical studies, chart-pattern detectors, indicator settings, favorites, recents, visibility controls, user-authored Pine Script v6 indicators (all plot types, fills, drawings, barcolor/bgcolor, request.security), and an on-chart indicator legend with per-indicator settings dialog.
• Backtesting — strategy authoring in Pine Script v6 (sandboxed worker, full broker config bridge), draft management, results review, and strategy starter templates.
• AI assistant — chart-aware chat, provider setup, conversation history, and approval-based chart actions.
• Data and symbols — Massive equities, Binance crypto (spot + USDⓈ-M futures), OKX crypto (spot + linear perpetual swaps), provider settings, ticker overview, corporate events, streaming updates, a tick-driven live price level, and delayed/realtime configuration.
• Watchlists and personalization — local watchlists with live polled row quotes, import/export, themes, palettes, preferences, and saved workspace layouts.

Next

These are the highest-priority improvements for turning the current chart workspace into a more complete daily analysis product.

Charting workflow

• Object tree — a panel for listing, selecting, renaming, hiding, locking, grouping, and deleting drawings and indicators.
• Per-drawing lock/hide controls — lock individual objects, hide selected drawings, and restore them without clearing the chart.
• Drawing favorites — pin frequently used drawing tools and style templates for faster access.
• Stay in drawing mode — keep the selected drawing tool active after placement for repeated markup.
• Better drawing sync — choose whether drawings are scoped to a pane, symbol, layout, or all layouts.
• Chart alerts foundation — visual alert lines, saved alert conditions, and notification plumbing for future delivery channels.
• More precise replay review — replay bookmarks, speed presets, replay trade markers, and replay-to-date controls.

Market data and research

• More provider coverage — OKX crypto (spot + linear perpetual swaps) shipped in v0.6.0. Further expansion beyond current equity and crypto providers where licensing and reliability make sense.
• Economic calendar events — add macro calendar markers alongside earnings, dividends, splits, and news.
• Corporate fundamentals — surface core company metrics, financial summaries, and valuation context in ticker overview.
• Session controls — clearer market-hours presets, pre/post-market visibility, and exchange-specific trading calendars.
• Data diagnostics — show provider, freshness, delay state, last update time, and error details directly on the chart.

Authoring and automation

• Authoring diagnostics — richer compile errors, runtime traces, and indicator/strategy debug output.
• Strategy templates — common strategy skeletons for moving-average crosses, breakouts, mean reversion, and risk-based exits. (Pine starter templates shipped in v0.5.0; more to follow.)
• Parameter sweeps — run strategy inputs across ranges and compare results.
• Walk-forward testing — split historical data into in-sample and out-of-sample segments.
• AI-assisted authoring review — explain custom code behavior, identify repaint risk, and suggest safer settings.
• Pine indicator sandboxing — move indicator compute off the main thread into a timed Web Worker to guard against runaway scripts. (Deferred from v0.5.0 due to render-synchronization complexity.)
• Cross-symbol fetch caps — limit the number of distinct request.security calls per script to prevent fetch amplification. (Deferred from v0.5.0.)
• Per-indicator alert opt-in — require explicit opt-in before routing Pine alert()/alertcondition() to global webhook/browser-notification channels. (Deferred from v0.5.0.)

Collaboration and portability

• Workspace import/export — move complete layouts, drawings, indicators, watchlists, and settings between browsers.
• Shareable chart snapshots — export a read-only chart state for review, support, or trade journaling.
• Notes and journals — attach notes to symbols, drawings, replay moments, and strategy results.
• Audit-friendly history — track changes to drawings, layouts, and strategy drafts.

TradingView Parity Backlog

TradingView's public drawing documentation groups tools into trend line tools, Fibonacci and Gann tools, geometric shapes, annotation tools, manual pattern tools, prediction and measurement tools, icons/stickers/emojis, and drawing actions. Fractal Chart already covers the full trend-line and channel set, the complete Fibonacci and Gann families, pitchforks, freehand brushes, rectangle, date/price range, anchored volume profile, anchored VWAP, regression trend, and long/short position tools. The items below are the remaining charting backlog needed to approach a TradingView-class drawing surface.

Trend line tools

Already covered: trend line, ray, extended line, trend angle, info line, horizontal line, horizontal ray, vertical line, cross line, zigzag/polyline-style line, parallel channel, flat top/bottom channel, disjoint channel, regression trend, interactive anchored VWAP drawing, arrow caps through line styling, and rectangle zone projection.

Missing: none.

Fibonacci and Gann tools

Already covered: Fibonacci retracement, Trend-based Fibonacci extension, Fibonacci channel, Fibonacci time zone, Fibonacci speed resistance fan, Trend-based Fibonacci time, Fibonacci circles, Fibonacci spiral, Fibonacci speed resistance arcs, Fibonacci wedge, Pitchfork, Schiff pitchfork, Modified Schiff pitchfork, Inside pitchfork, Pitchfan, Gann fan, Gann box, Gann square, and Fixed Gann square.

• Stay in drawing mode
• Lock all drawings
• Lock selected drawing
• Hide all drawings
• Hide selected drawing
• Remove drawing groups by type

Later

These ideas extend beyond chart-tool parity into a broader analysis platform.

• Alert delivery — browser notifications, email, webhook, and provider-specific delivery options.
• Portfolio and trade journal — track trade plans, outcomes, notes, screenshots, and performance.
• Multi-asset expansion — ETFs, futures, forex, indexes, and other markets if provider coverage supports them.
• Options research — options chains, implied volatility, expiration views, and strategy payoff diagrams.
• Team workspaces — shared layouts, shared watchlists, annotations, and permission controls.
• Cloud sync — authenticated account storage for layouts, watchlists, drawings, settings, drafts, and AI history.
• Public sharing — publish read-only chart ideas, scripts, templates, and strategy notes.
• Plugin and extension model — allow advanced users to package indicators, strategies, drawing templates, and workspace tools.
