LightningChart-Python-Trader-Dashboards

LightningChart Python Trader introduces the dashboard feature, allowing users to add multiple charts in fully customizable layouts. It is possible to create custom workspaces with different chart types, timeframes, and indicators in the same view.

Technical Analysis Chart (TAChart) Constructor

When creating a new chart, it is possible to define values for theme, load_from_store, axis position, and HTML text rendering. There are also helper methods available, including set_dat, add_data_array, and load_csv, now supporting unsorted datasets.

trader = TAChart(
    license_key,
    html_text_rendering=True,
    load_from_storage=False,
    theme='turquoiseHexagon',
    axis_on_right=True
)

Data Retrieval Methods

A new set of helper methods (named like get_*) lets users easily access things like chart data, buttons and inputs, symbol tables, time settings, and volume info—all through code. This means you can now fully control and analyze charts automatically, or build your custom user interfaces using this data.

Menu Options Control

LightningChart Python introduces 41 new menu_options()to show/hide UI elements. This is helpful to build custom data visualization interfaces and simpler experiences.

menu = trader.menu_options()

menu.show_chart_title_input(False)
menu.show_currency_input(False)
menu.show_watermark_text_input(False)

Mountain Gradients

LightningChart Python 1.0 introduces better gradient options to different chart types including mountain charts.
