What We've Been Working On!

We've been hard at work implementing many back-end/front-end optimizations which just have been rolled out to the main beta site.

The majority of these features are the direct result of tester feedback. We would like to thank our testers for their insightful suggestions; you have been invaluable in helping us correct errors and improve the site experience!

What's New

New Billing System - We've discontinued use of PayPal and have integrated our website directly with Authorize.net, a premier payment gateway solution.

Target Indicator (Symbol Details) - We added a target indicator to the symbol details chart that makes it easier to see where your cursor is located across multiple series.

New Search Range Tool (Discover Patterns) - We've completely re-tooled the pattern search range selector making it easier to use and more powerful.

In-Progress Chart (Pattern Details) - We've revamped the pattern-in-progress chart to include averaged historical behavior. Toggle individual series on or off by clicking the legend labels.

Custom Gain/Loss Colors - You can now set custom gain/loss colors that will propagate through the entire site if you so desire. Set your colors in Account Settings -> Personal Info.

Pattern Ratings - Seasonalysis.com now returns a pattern rating for all seasonal patterns. It's important that members understand the features and limitations of this calculated rating. The rating value can fall between 0.0 and 10.0, with 0.0 signifying a poor pattern and 10.0 signifying an exceptional pattern.

The rating is derived from the pattern win percentage, years of data, G/L divided by the Standard Deviation. This rating is arbitrary in nature, and patterns which rate poorly may very well have validity based on a member's personal criteria.

Screener Improvements - When creating a new screener, the site will take your existing criteria and use them for the newly created screener. Your table sorting criteria will also be saved in your custom screeners on the Discover Patterns page. It's important that you hit the 'Save' button after changing your screener criteria.

Performance Improvements - We've spend a good deal of time improving search and sort performance. However, there may still be noticeable delays if you are sorting more than 5000 patterns.

- Numerous bug fixes and compatibility issues resolved!

What's Coming

- Exclusive features for annual subscription members, details forthcoming
- Additional feature requests and several previously unannounced improvements
