Announcing LightningChart JS Trader v4.0

Hey, I'm Omar, and this time I wanted to bring you some good news about the latest release of LightningChart JS Trader 4.0.

In this release, we focused on improving the user experience, flexibility, and real-time data streaming. Here are some of the changes:

LightningChart JS Trader 4.0: high-precision JS library for developing Fintech applications

Latest Price Labels

LightningChart-JS-Trader-Latest-Price-Labels

Built-in labels now show the latest close and indicator values, with options to show/hide the label and horizontal line.

Drawing Tool Events

LightningChart-JS-Trader-Drawing-Tool-Events

New pointer events (PointerDown, PointerUp, PointerEnter, PointerLeave) enable richer interactions. Default drawing-tool menus can also be disabled for custom implementations.

Real-Time Improvements

  • Zooming/panning now work properly during real-time updates.
  • New data point limit feature (enableDataPointLimit(), setDataPointLimit()).
  • X-axis flicker fixed; better performance and more accurate labels.
  • Automatic Data Sorting: Data no longer needs to be added in chronological order; the chart now sorts data automatically by datetime.
