What's in This Upgrade · New Chart Type

Heikin-Ashi Charts. The Trend, Smoothed.

Heikin-Ashi (also spelled Heiken-Ashi) is Japanese for "average bar." It makes candlestick charts easier to read, so trends are easier to spot and to forecast.

Traders use Heikin-Ashi to stay in a trade while a trend persists — and to exit when it pauses or reverses. Since most profits come from trending markets, reading the trend accurately is essential.

Because each bar averages the movement, Heikin-Ashi looks noticeably smoother. Candles tend to stay red through a downtrend and green through an uptrend, while conventional candlesticks keep alternating colors even when price is mostly moving one way.

New Chart Type · Seasonality

Seasonality Charts. The Calendar's Edge.

The Seasonality chart shows the percentage change of any ticker across multiple years on a single chart, with the multi-year average plotted alongside the current year.

  • Easily toggle up to 15 years of data on or off.
  • Add or remove the average line with one click.
  • Use the date key to change the chart's right-hand date — the percentage scale adjusts automatically.

Seasonality in Action

The Ridiculous Seasonality of AMD

In his May 2020 article The Ridiculous Seasonality of AMD, Jay Kaeppel identified a remarkably consistent bullish window: October trading day 19 through May trading day 21.

"AMD is one of the most consistently 'cyclical' stocks you may ever find."

Reading the AIQ Seasonality Chart

The vertical cursor sits on the 19th trading day of October; the right-hand date is set to the 21st trading day of May.

Eight trading years (2013–2020) are overlaid, with the average line in white and the vertical scale showing percentage change. The seasonal trend Jay describes is plain to see.

Release Notes

Everything That Changed in 9.65.
