7. v0.5.2 — Live prices & watchlist quotes

Released 2026-06-17. This release makes the workspace feel more alive between bar updates: charts now show a tick-driven live price level, and watchlist rows refresh their last price and percent change on a short polling loop. It also tidies the mobile chart overlay and adds a quick way to report problems from error messages.

Added

• Live price level on the chart. When a provider exposes a raw trade (tick) feed, the chart draws a dedicated price line that moves with each trade, independent of the bar series. It rides the same streaming connection as the bars (no extra connection), replaces the built-in last-value line so only one line is shown, and is styled to match your configured symbol price line. Trades only move the price level — they are never aggregated into bars. The feature is best-effort and degrades gracefully: if a provider has no trade feed, the feed is not entitled, or the channel errors, the chart simply keeps using the bar-driven price line. If no trade arrives for 30 seconds (market close or a silent disconnect), the live line reverts to the bar-driven line until trading resumes. The live line is not shown during bar replay. Available for Massive and Alpaca (US equities) and Binance (spot and futures).
• Live watchlist row quotes. Watchlist rows now refresh their last price and percent change on a polling loop (about every 5 seconds by default) instead of only when a list loads. Each provider is queried with a single bulk snapshot call covering all of that provider's listed symbols, rather than one request per row. Polling pauses while the browser tab is hidden and resumes when you return, and rows keep their last known value when a refresh can't update them.
• "Report a bug" link on error messages. Pine compile errors in the indicator editor and strategy composer now include a subtle link to the community forum so an unexpected error is easy to report.

Changed

• Simpler mobile symbol overlay. On small screens the chart's symbol info overlay is now a compact, non-interactive line showing the latest close and percent change. The previous expand/collapse control has been removed; the full OHLC overlay remains on larger screens.

Notes

• Live prices follow your provider's entitlement. The live price level depends on the provider's realtime trade feed and your plan (for example, Alpaca's IEX free tier is sparse for less-active symbols, and Massive can be a delayed feed). When trades aren't flowing, the chart and watchlist fall back to bar/snapshot prices. See Realtime vs Delayed Data.
