Changelog
What shipped, when. The independence arc in public.
2026-11-01
One month free on your first subscription
- Your first Analyst or Desk subscription includes 1 month free (30 days), with monthly or annual billing. One trial per account. Complete checkout with a card to start trial access; no subscription payment is due today.
- Cancel anytime in Settings → Billing. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. After the trial, the full selected monthly or annual price is charged automatically until you cancel. The payment page shows the terms for your checkout before confirmation.
- Free Retail access and existing subscriptions stay unchanged. The trial terms appear in the Terms of Service dated November 1.
2026-10-28
Research, alerts, PAPER safeguards and Light/Dark appearance
- Choose Light or Dark from the page controls or account menu. The choice stays in this browser and follows other open tabs. Older appearance choices return to Dark; the signed-out landing retains its night scene.
- Charts, studies, saved drawings and interface colours adapt to Light. Changing appearance preserves the drawdown chart view. Heatmap labels, navigation shortcuts, trading-panel headers and unavailable onboarding markets use readable text colours.
- The PAPER trade ticket refuses quotes with a missing source for both buys and sells, including the Enter shortcut. Unlabelled watchlist quotes display the SIM badge; their quick-buy action remains blocked.
- Research runs and configurations can be saved to your account, replayed, transferred in validated bundles or shared through expiring revocable reports. Private research spaces support roles, notes and watchlists; background Lab jobs remain unavailable while a sealed record is bound.
- Alerts gain compound and watchlist conditions, schedules, quiet hours, screen and calendar monitors, and optional Web Push with recorded delivery states. A transport accepting a notification does not establish device or inbox delivery.
- The virtual PAPER account adds recorded funding, cash, fees and slippage, user-written trade plans and journal notes. Gross R against a pre-trade stop and net FIFO R after fees are labeled separately. PAPER actions do not send broker orders.
- Watchlist PAPER quick buys refuse simulated quotes, and the Lab can save and reopen runs bound to the first sealed research record, numbered 0, while retaining the captured sample or holdout window.
2026-10-27
Alert explanations, pre-trade records and connected research
- Alert history shows the compared reading, quote source and age, and the mail service response. Armed rules show their latest recorded check; mail acceptance does not establish inbox delivery.
- Chart scenarios can save entry, stop and target references before a paper buy without placing an order. The journal derives gross R before costs only for a supported, clean round trip and explains unavailable outcomes.
- The Lab can follow a sealed research record: bound runs use its sample window, and a holdout look must be recorded before its result is shown. This guides research rather than enforcing a platform-wide holdout.
- The brief lists upcoming reporters from your watchlists with calendar read times and explicit unavailable sessions. Saved workspaces also preserve supported chart appearance, comparisons and hidden studies alongside a saved study list.
2026-10-26
Billing, alert and backtest corrections; marketing measurement connection
- Account deletion now checks unresolved checkouts and payments as well as subscriptions. Open checkouts must expire before deletion can finish, and unexpected later payments remain visible for reconciliation.
- Daily foreign-exchange alerts use the provider session dates and fresh provider history. Flat prices produce neutral RSI, and an alert edited during a slow check cannot fire from its previous condition.
- Backtests resolve opening price gaps before later candle movement and report the exit fill used in their returns. Annualized statistics and benchmark sizing disclose their market convention or estimate; benchmark settings no longer change the strategy statistics.
- The optional Meta browser pixel now connects to the Quantz Marketing business dataset. Your consent choices still apply independently to Meta and Microsoft Clarity, and the terminal and other product pages remain outside these browser tags.
- Preparation for server-side signup and paid-checkout measurement now rejects incomplete signups, unpaid or zero-value checkouts, and duplicate checkout conversions. Server delivery remains disabled pending private credential setup and verification; this release does not turn it on.
2026-10-25
Optional browser measurement on public marketing pages
- Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity are offered separately on eligible public marketing pages. Both start off: you can decline, allow either one, or withdraw your choice on the Privacy Policy page.
- The terminal and other product pages remain outside these browser tags. Clarity recordings use text masking. Meta server-side conversions remain disabled in this release.
2026-10-20
Optional measurement: browser and server choices clarified
- The Privacy Policy now distinguishes optional browser measurement from separately configured server-side measurement. Offering a Meta browser pixel does not itself enable the Conversions API or establish delivery to a vendor dashboard.
- The earlier advance notice still applies: Meta and Microsoft Clarity each require independent opt-in and stay limited to eligible public marketing pages. Product pages remain outside these browser tags. Vendor-account preparation and delivery checks must precede activation; this notice does not switch either service on.
2026-10-19
Advance notice: optional marketing measurement
- We plan to offer optional Meta ad measurement and Microsoft Clarity click and scroll heatmaps with masked session recordings. This is advance notice of the privacy change; this announcement does not activate either service.
- When enabled, these services will be limited to the public homepage, pricing, sign-in, sign-up and privacy pages. The terminal and other product pages will remain outside this tracking.
- Meta and Clarity will each require your independent opt-in. You will be able to decline either service and change or withdraw your choice later from the Privacy Policy page.
2026-10-17
Four new sections in the Terms, an open-source licences page, and a commercially licensed model
- The Terms of Service have four new sections. Section 14: you keep ownership of what you create in QuantZ, and we use it only to run the Service for you, or to show it to others where you choose to publish or share it. Section 15: what belongs to us and to others, with the open-source components listed under their own licences. Section 16: acceptable use, including that market data may not be redistributed, republished or resold. Section 17: how to tell us that content on QuantZ infringes your copyright. That Terms version is dated October 17.
- A licences page, linked from every footer, credits the open-source software and fonts QuantZ is built with: TradingView Lightweight Charts, which draws the price charts, the four type families, and each package the web app ships, with the font licences and the licence files the packages ship in one file.
- The model we run on our own server for the market brief is now Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507, used under the Apache License 2.0. The model it replaces was licensed for research and evaluation only.
2026-10-16
A contact page, a support assistant, and a person for the rest
- A contact page reaches a person at QuantZ: pick a topic, write your message, and a confirmation with a reference number is mailed back. Every public footer links to it, and so do the places people get stuck: sign-in, the verification and two-factor pages, billing and checkout, the status page and a missing page.
- Ask QuantZ, a support assistant on the public and sign-in pages, answers from set replies and from our own pages word for word. Only when those do not cover a question does Google’s Gemini write an answer from those pages, and the answer names the model. Refunds, account recovery, privacy, security, sales and bug reports always go to a person.
- An assistant for the support mailbox is built and switched off. When it is on, it drafts answers for a person to review and send, unless we choose to let set replies and excerpts of our pages go out on their own; answers Gemini writes go out on their own only if we choose that too.
- The privacy policy now says what the contact form mails and keeps, and what each assistant sends to Gemini. Section 2 of the Terms names the contact page beside the email address; that Terms version is dated October 16.
2026-10-09
A candle’s names stack instead of dropping
- When one candle carries more than one name, such as a pattern code and Setup 9, the names stack outward from the candle instead of the second one being dropped. The chart keeps room above the highest candle for the stack.
2026-10-08
Every candlestick pattern named, and every chart opens on five weeks
- Each candlestick pattern prints a short code on the chart (D for a doji, H for a hammer). The crosshair tooltip and screen readers give the full name. Names on chart now defaults to All.
- Every chart opens on its newest 25 candles, or 35 for a market that trades every day, whatever the candle size or history range. The range sets how much is loaded.
- The candle that is still forming comes from the vendor, Tiingo, not from a stored copy, so a crypto day candle no longer freezes at its first minutes. An open chart refreshes it once a minute.
2026-10-06
Candles that follow your zoom
- The Terms version dated October 3 and the controller’s postal address in the Privacy Policy reached the site in this release. The date on the Terms identifies that document version; this changelog records the date it shipped.
- Zoom the chart far out and it switches to larger candles; zoom far in and it switches to smaller ones, keeping the same stretch of time on screen. A note says what changed, with Undo.
- Only zooming does this. A history button (5Y, All…) keeps the candle it always used, and a size picked automatically is marked "auto" and never saved as your choice.
- Turn it off under History · candle → Auto candle size. Smaller candles that do not reach as far back as the view are not used; the chart says so and stays put.
2026-10-01
Delete your account yourself, a sign-up confirmation, and a fuller privacy policy
- Delete your account from Settings → Security. It does not cancel a plan: cancel in Billing first, and deletion refuses while a plan would still charge. It removes your data, and lists exactly what is kept and why: the security audit log, signed trading mandates, the payment records Stripe holds, and your newsletter consent marked unsubscribed.
- Creating an account now asks for your date of birth, since accounts are for people 18 or older, and for you to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The date is checked and not stored.
- Refunds are now in the Terms of Service (section 7) and on the checkout page, not only in the pricing FAQ: a refund when something you paid for is broken and not fixed promptly, by email within 14 days of the charge. Cancelling stops the next renewal and does not refund the period already paid for. The privacy policy now lists every cookie and every item kept in your browser’s storage.
- Sign-in protection: ten wrong passwords pause password sign-in for that address for up to 15 minutes, reset and verification emails are capped per address, and a reset link works once.
- The privacy policy now names each outside service that receives data and what it receives, what is recorded about sign-ins, what server logs hold, and what deletion keeps. The Terms of Service section on deletion changed to match.
2026-09-25
Account marks, honest data labels, and search names
- A control that needs an account shows a lock before you click it, and the sign-in page says what the account is for.
- LIVE now means a streamed update within the last 15 seconds. Daily bars read DELAYED with their session day, and signed-out readers see delayed data.
- Search shows company names again, and setup can be finished on a phone.
- The free plan’s chart copilot has a daily limit as well as a monthly one: 3 answers a day, within 15 a month.
2026-09-15
Readable chart names, trading styles, and more indicators
- Every name the chart’s analysis prints is laid out as one set, never overprinted and never cut off. Studies › Overlays › Names on chart chooses Newest, All or Off.
- Detection follows a trading style (Scalp, Day, Swing or Position), each reading three candle sizes, and the Analysis tab lists formations found on the other sizes.
- More indicators, each the published definition with its source. The comparison reading adds correlation, beta, relative strength and spread.
2026-09-07
The analysis checklist on the chart
- The Analysis panel and the chart read chart formations, drawn with their necklines, candlestick shapes and indicators from one catalogue. One candle no longer prints as three findings.
- Scrolling back loads older history page by page, so how far back you can go no longer depends on one response’s size.
2026-09-06
Terms of Service and paid plans
- The Terms of Service took effect, including section 7 on subscriptions.
- Analyst and Desk went on sale, paid through Stripe.
- The free plan’s limits on that date: 25 live-data sessions a month of 30 minutes each, a 15-minute delayed screener outside them, and 15 chart-copilot answers a month (the monthly answer limit is new).
2026-07-17
Plain-English alerts — compiled, not interpreted
- Describe an alert the way you’d say it — “NVDA RSI below 30 on the 1h”, “BTC above 70k, email me” — and we compile it once into a deterministic rule you can read before you arm it.
- Zero AI at trigger time: other tools run a language model on every price tick — slow, costly, and non-deterministic. We compile once to an auditable rule the alerts engine runs cold, so a fired alert is always explainable.
- Rules-first, so it keeps working even when every AI vendor is down; the model only proposes and one shared grammar validates everything — nothing armable can bypass the check.
- Honest by design: it refuses to invent a rule it can’t understand, and tells you up front when a symbol’s live feed is offline instead of silently never firing.
