§00 TAPEBOARD - CHANGELOG¶
What's new on Tapeboard — high-level notes on the features and fixes we ship. Newest first.
Jul 21, 2026¶
The simulator stops lying to you when an order is rejected
If you tried to paper-trade a stock from the scanner and your order couldn't fill — not enough buying power, a halted stock, no live price — the simulator used to tell you it went through. You'd see a green "Bought AAPL" confirmation and the order panel would snap shut, even though nothing actually filled. You walked away thinking you owned shares you didn't. It now tells you the real reason the order was rejected, in plain language right there in the panel, and keeps the panel open so you can adjust the quantity, switch from Buy to Short, or cancel — instead of slamming the door on a trade that never happened.
The same fix reaches the SELL ALL and COVER ALL buttons on your open positions: if a sell is rejected (the stock is halted, or there is no live price to sell at), you now see an ORDER NOT PLACED banner with the reason instead of a silent no-op where you click the button and nothing happens at all.
Shorting from the scanner right-click menu was quietly broken — it was sending a sell order (which closes a long you do not have) instead of a short order (which opens a new short position). Every Short from the scanner was a guaranteed rejection, masked by the false-success toast above. Short now sends the correct opening-short order, matching how the full Montage panel has always worked.
Clicking a stock on your dashboard — in the market movers, pre-market gaps, watchlist movers, or the sector heatmap — now selects it everywhere at once: the charts and any open scanner follow your click, so you can glance at the dashboard and drill straight into a symbol without losing your chart context. Plus polish: the loading states across the scanner, movers, and watchlist no longer flash a bare spinner or a blank "LOADING" label — they show a shaped skeleton that matches the content about to appear, so the page stops jumping as data fills in; and the pricing page now shows honest social proof (500+ daily active users, 23,000+ views, 400+ signups) instead of a placeholder.
The simulator scanner showing a rejected buy order inline — a red ✗ line reads "Insufficient buying power: order needs ~$15,025 but only $0 available" instead of a false success confirmation, and the order panel stays open A rejected buy now shows the real reason inline and keeps the panel open — instead of a false "Bought" confirmation that closes the panel on a trade that never filled.
Jul 19, 2026¶
Free Level 2 quotes page + faster squeeze board + touch-friendly filters
There's now a dedicated Free Level 2 Quotes page (tapeboard.com/free-level-2-quotes) that honestly explains what you get for free — 15-minute delayed top-of-book — and what the paid tiers unlock: real-time full Level 2 depth and walked fills. It's a straight answer to the 'is the order book free?' question, with no walled-garden copy.
The Squeeze Leaderboard — the page that ranks stocks by squeeze potential — used to freeze for 2+ seconds when loading the mini price charts for all 50 symbols at once. It now loads them in small batches so the page stays responsive while the charts fill in.
Same data, no more jarring stall. On a phone, the filter buttons on the Squeeze Leaderboard (sector filters, CLEAR, short-volume streak, include-risky) were small enough to miss-tap. They now have a 44-pixel touch height — the WCAG-recommended minimum — so they are easy to tap on a phone without zooming in. The Review button on the journal dashboard (the one that nags you to grade your unreviewed trades) was also too small to tap comfortably on a phone. Same 44-pixel fix.
Jul 14, 2026¶
A quieter first impression of the AI assistant
If you open the AI assistant on a stock without a paid account, it used to show three tabs and two of them were locked — you'd land on a wall of padlocks instead of the one tool you can actually use. It now shows just the free BREAK IT DOWN tool, with the two paid tools (Key Levels and Chat) appearing as a single line at the bottom — one Upgrade to Pro link instead of two locked tabs. Paid accounts still see all three tabs exactly as before.
On a 1024-1280 pixel laptop, the scanner used to drop from its wide-screen 3-column shape (scanners | charts | sidecar) into a different-feeling 2-column-pair document with the right-rail panels stacked awkwardly under the scanner+charts. The narrow-laptop view now keeps the same 3-column arrangement you see on a bigger monitor — scanners narrow left, charts center, sidecar right — so resizing down no longer feels like loading a different product.
Jul 13, 2026¶
A working terminal before you sign in, and a BREAKING banner that earns its interruptions
Browsing the scanner without an account now shows a full working terminal: live top-gainers and most-active scans, charts, market news, and a quote panel — every panel on screen is real data, and it fits one screen. The locked Level-2 panels (order book, montage) and the empty before-the-open momentum scan that used to fill the logged-out view are gone; those panels return once you sign in, instead of sitting dead on your first visit.
Same cleanup on phones: viewing a stock while logged out no longer shows an empty Level-2 ladder and two locked sections between the charts and the news — you scroll straight from charts to headlines.
On phones the scanner used to open on its first preset even when that preset had zero hits before the open or after hours — so a first-time visitor could land on an empty table. It now opens on the first preset that actually has movers that session, and each preset tab shows its live hit count so you can tell at a glance which scans are running and which are quiet.
You can now try the AI assistant before signing up: one free BREAK IT DOWN per day, no account needed. A free account raises that to 3 a day. Clicking a stock on the homepage scanner now drops you straight into the live scanner with that stock loaded — same as scanner links everywhere else — instead of expanding a summary row.
Dismissing the red BREAKING banner now sticks — once you close a headline, it stays closed, including after a page refresh. No more re-dismissing the same story every time you reload.
The banner also got a much higher bar for what counts as breaking: opinion pieces, previews, and "what to expect" color no longer interrupt your scanner. Hard catalysts — trading halts, FDA decisions, CPI and Fed announcements, mergers, bankruptcies — still come through instantly.
Jul 12, 2026¶
New: EARNINGS DESK, 12 momentum factors, and a wider scanner
BREAK IT DOWN gained a second tab: EARNINGS DESK. On a stock heading into an earnings date, tap in for a data-grounded read on what its filings actually show — revenue trend, cash flow versus accruals, and what buybacks are doing to the share count — no forecast, no price target, just what the numbers say. And the BREAK IT DOWN button itself now shows up in two more places: your live positions panel and every watchlist row, not just the movers board, squeeze leaderboard, and research pages.
The chart's indicator panel gained 12 new community indicators — momentum and breadth factors adapted from academic quant research. Each plots a clean, single-line signal: 10/20/60-day price momentum, up-day and down-day ratios, where the recent 10-bar high and low sit, 5-day price ratio, 6-day return %, intraday range position, price-volume divergence, and up-momentum share. Find them in the Community section of the indicator picker — no formula-writing needed.
The scanner now covers a lot more ground — its universe grew from 200 to 500 symbols — and picked up a new free preset, Momentum Now, for the fastest 5-minute movers on the tape. The squeeze leaderboard gained a Squeeze Alerts strip that flags names showing signs of squeeze pressure building intraday, before they've already printed the headline move. And short-interest % now reads the same, more accurate number on the scanner as it does on the squeeze board — both draw from a much broader dataset.
TradeStation is now a supported broker import — drop your Trade Activity CSV on Journal → Import and your trades come in paired up, longs, shorts, commissions and all, same as Sterling, IBKR, Schwab, and the rest. And options trades can now come in through the same any-broker CSV wizard as stock trades — map your columns once and they land parsed and paired.
When AI features discuss a company, they now cite real numbers from its actual SEC financial filings — revenue, growth, margins — instead of leaning on an estimate.
An honesty pass across the AI features: every AI answer now carries a plain information-not-advice note, and AI chat now checks its own numbers against the real, live data before it answers — if a figure it wrote doesn't check out, it rewrites the answer or tells you it can't say, instead of shipping a wrong number. Plus polish: daily charts now fall back to a backup data source if our regular feed hiccups, instead of going blank; bigger tap targets on money actions and settings and a more compact chart header on phones; the journal's quick-log button no longer covers your last trade row; scanner preset tabs scroll into view as you switch panels on mobile; and an end-of-day dashboard nudge if you've still got trades to log.
Jul 9, 2026¶
If you're signed in and already have saved watchlists, the standalone Watchlist page now shows them instead of the generic starter lists — pick which one you're looking at, add or remove tickers right there, and it stays in sync with the rest of the app. Signed-in traders with nothing saved yet, and anyone just trying Tapeboard out, still get the quick-start lists as before.
Trying a starter list when you already have tickers on your list now asks first — replace what's there, or add to it — instead of quietly merging the two together. Either way, you'll see exactly how many tickers were added, with an UNDO right there if you change your mind.
Jul 8, 2026¶
New: BREAK IT DOWN — what's actually moving a stock
There's a new button on the movers board, the squeeze leaderboard, and every research page: BREAK IT DOWN. Tap it for a plain-English read on what's driving the move right now — what's moving it, the bull case, the bear case, the risk flags, and the honest unknowns — built from the same live data you already see here: price, volume, relative volume, short interest, halts, and the day's headlines.
It explains what's happening; it never tells you what to buy or sell.
For the day's biggest movers and top squeeze names, the breakdown is ready the moment you tap it — no waiting, and it's there for everyone, signed in or not. Need it for a stock that isn't on today's leaderboards? Pro members can pull a fresh, deeper breakdown for any ticker on demand.
Plus polish: every breakdown is grounded in real data and carries a plain note that it's information, not advice — so you always know exactly what you're looking at.
Jul 6, 2026¶
Broker import is now free for everyone
Importing your trade history no longer requires a paid plan. Drop your broker's CSV export on Journal → Import — Sterling Trader Pro/IFT, Interactive Brokers, Tradervue, and more — and your full history comes in: every trade paired up, fees included, charted with entry and exit marked, and enriched with the day's market context. Your trading history is yours; getting it into Tapeboard shouldn't cost anything. The deep end — unlimited trade log view, the full report suite, and the AI trade coach — is what Pro is for.
And the moment an import lands, you now see what you brought in: net P&L, win rate, profit factor, best and worst trade, and the fees you actually paid — computed over exactly the batch you just dropped, so you can sanity-check it against your broker's statement on the spot. Re-importing a file that's all duplicates skips the ceremony.
Sturdier big imports: importing hundreds of trades at once could briefly outrun our data providers, and a few trades would wrongly show "no intraday data archived" forever. Now a temporary data hiccup is treated as temporary — affected trades quietly complete their market context the next time you open the journal.
Imported trades now fill in their market context as each one finishes, instead of all at once at the very end — and a trade you log right after a big import no longer waits behind the whole batch to light up.
Fixed: in the quiet stretches after the close, the chart could float above the price the tape and order book were actually showing — so the same stock read one number on the chart, another in the quote up top, and a third on the tape. All three now line up on the last real print: the chart and quote follow the trades that actually happen instead of drifting to a stale end-of-session last price. Thanks to the trader who spotted the three prices and sent the screenshot.
Jul 4, 2026¶
Charts: a lot less lag
If the crypto page ever felt like a slideshow while the tape was busy, that's fixed. On every single price tick it was quietly redoing hundreds of times more work than it needed to. We measured it before and after: the page now does a fraction of the work per update — and stays smooth even while handling twice as many live ticks as before.
Switching symbols on the scanner and simulator charts no longer blanks the chart and rebuilds it from scratch. The chart stays put and the new data swaps in — the flash-and-reload on every switch is gone.
The mini price charts around the site (market overview rows, ticker strips) now redraw only when their numbers actually change, instead of constantly — easier on your battery and your laptop fans.
In multi-chart layouts, working in one pane no longer makes the other panes do busywork behind the scenes. Your drawing hand stays smooth even with four charts up.
Bar Replay and chart hover got quicker too. Stepping through a replay used to quietly re-download your comparison overlays on every single bar; and with the Data Window open, every bar you hovered recalculated every indicator from scratch. Both now reuse work they'd already done — replay stays snappy with overlays on, and Data Window values keep up with your cursor even with a stack of indicators loaded.
Zooming and scrolling an intraday chart with pre-market/after-hours shading on is noticeably smoother — most of all on the simulator, where a zoom could visibly stutter. The shading was being re-derived from every bar on the chart on every frame of the gesture; it now reuses that work and just moves the strips.
Moving your cursor across a chart is lighter across the board: the price readout, the Data Window, and the session shading now update in their own small corner of the page instead of making the whole screen re-do work on every frame. And when several live panels are watching the same feed, each price update is now unpacked once — not once per panel.
The forex page and the journal's trade-review chart now run the same chart as the rest of the site — same crosshair readout, same legend, and indicators and drawings work there too. Trade review keeps its entry, exit, and stop lines, and now also marks WHEN you entered and exited right on the bars. It's the start of unifying every chart on the site; thanks to the trader who asked why each page's chart looked a little different. More pages follow.
The journal now imports Sterling Trader Pro / IFT trade history directly. Export the Trade History report from Sterling's reporting site, drop the CSV on Journal → Import, and every execution pairs up into round-trip trades — longs, shorts, scale-ins, fees (rebates included), exact Eastern-time stamps. We verified the importer against Sterling's own per-symbol P&L report before shipping it. Requested by the trader bringing his full trade base over — welcome home.
Fixed (all CSV imports): scaling out of a position could count the entry-side fee twice across the resulting trades. Fees now split in proportion to the shares each trade actually closed — your fee totals match your broker's statement.
Fixed: opening an older trade in the journal could draw your CURRENT simulator target/stop order lines on top of that historical chart — working orders from today don't belong on a chart of last April. Trade-review charts now show only that trade's own entry, exit, and stop. Caught by the trader importing his Sterling history, within hours of the importer going live.
Plus polish: smoother window resizing on the forex chart.
Fixed: the timeframe bar on Charts could vanish entirely when the toolbar got crowded (drawing tools open, watchlist panel out) — leaving no way to switch or pin a timeframe. The timeframe buttons now always keep their space, and the toolbar scrolls instead. Thanks to the sharp-eyed trader who reported it within hours.
In multi-chart layouts the active pane now gets a visible glow, not just a thin border — so you can tell at a glance which chart your alert, drawing, or hotkey is about to land on, even on a dimmed monitor.
Take-profit TARGET lines on the simulator chart are now cyan instead of green. A green target next to a green long-entry line was easy to misread — every line color now means exactly one thing: green/red entry, red stop, cyan target, blue working orders.
Fixed: the stop-loss / take-profit / plan-R editors in the simulator's positions list could open partly hidden — trapped inside the panel, with the Set and Cancel buttons cut off at the bottom. They now open in front of everything, flip above the row when there's no room below, and never run off the screen, even in short windows. Each editor also glows its own color (red stop, green take-profit, amber plan-R) so it's easy to spot on a dimmed monitor.
Fixed: placing a market order with the SL/TP bracket checked quietly dropped both protective orders — the position opened, but no stop, no target, and no risk on record. Longs and shorts were both affected. Brackets now attach the moment the entry fills, in both directions (a short's stop sits above your entry, its target below), and they show up immediately in the SL/TP columns and on the chart. Thanks to the trader who caught it on video the same day.
Hiding an indicator's value now hides it everywhere. The ▾ menu next to the $ toggle used to clear the value only from the price axis — the same number kept sitting in the chart's top-left legend, covering candles. One toggle now clears both; the indicator line itself stays on the chart, and flipping the toggle back restores the labels.
Four more Academy missions are open: click a scanner mover straight to its chart, compare two stocks head-to-head, define your first playbook, and set a price alert. The scanner one completes the moment you click a real mover row — if a rank you'd finished now shows one mission to go, that's the new mission, not lost progress.
The simulator now has trade defaults — Settings → Trade defaults lets you set the quantity every ticket opens with, the +/− step size, your own quick-quantity buttons, the default order type and time-in-force, and where the limit price pre-fills from (last, bid, ask, or mid). Open tickets keep their state; the next one opens the way you trade. Requested by a trader who sent us their old broker's settings screen — thank you.
Fixed: the scanner's preset menu and panel-settings popover could open half-hidden behind the panel below them — switching what a panel scans looked broken on first click. Both now open in front of everything, on every panel type.
Scanner panels no longer look like they only found 2 stocks when they found 15 — row lists now show their scrollbar plus a '▾ N more' hint when more results are waiting below the fold.
Fixed: opening the scanner outside market hours could quietly turn two panels into the same 'Top Gainers' list. Each panel now picks a different scan, and layouts that were already doubled up heal themselves on next load.
Extreme relative-volume readings (a quiet-weekend '5500.0x') now display as '>999x' — hover for the exact figure. Real-but-extreme numbers no longer read like a rendering bug, everywhere RVOL appears.
The simulator now speaks up when you place an order while the market is closed — a QUEUED notice instead of silence — and it tells you the truth about WHEN fills resume: DAY+ and GTC orders go live at premarket open (4:00 AM ET), while plain DAY orders wait for the 9:30 bell — and now genuinely wait, matching how real brokers treat non-extended orders (they used to sneak premarket fills). Want premarket fills? Set TIF to DAY+ on the ticket or in
Settings → Trade defaults. Also: the top-bar P&L is now honestly labeled 'Total P&L' (it's your all-time number), time & sales prints always show Eastern time, and the stop-loss/take-profit bracket option got real visible chrome instead of hiding as a bare checkbox.
Fixed: with Bar Replay active at a standard laptop width, the simulator could squeeze your Cash / Equity / buying-power row completely off the screen. It holds its ground now — the bar scrolls instead.
Fixed: the simulator's cash check (the little RCNCL / DRIFT chip) treated money sitting in an open position as missing — hold a position overnight and it could show a scary five-figure red DRIFT. It now accounts for open positions, short-sale proceeds, and margin interest, so it only turns red when your cash genuinely doesn't add up.
The Short Squeeze leaderboard is now open to browse without an account — the full ranked table, scores, borrow fees, and 30-day trend sparklines. Setting squeeze alerts is where your free account comes in. Your journal's risk-adjusted stats (Sharpe, Sortino, Omega, SQN) now tell you exactly how many more trades unlock them, instead of four bare 'LOW_CONFIDENCE' labels. Also fixed: attaching larger screenshots to a trade could fail with an error — full-size uploads go through again.
Mobile polish: the first-run 'draw on the chart' tip no longer spills off the edge of the screen (and its close button is actually tappable now), pages that ask you to sign in have a way back home, and the chart timeframe strip fades at the edge so you know it scrolls to 3M/6M/1Y/ALL.
Jul 3, 2026¶
Alert building that reads like a sentence
The Indicator Alert builder now reads the way you think it: pick the indicator, set its period, choose the condition — "EMA, 20, crosses above" — in that order, left to right. The period field used to sit on its own row below everything else, so the form read out of order from the very sentence it builds. Thanks to the sharp-eyed trader who sketched the fix for us.
If a card payment ever fails, Tapeboard now tells you right in the app with a one-click way to update it — not just an email you might miss. We keep retrying automatically either way; nothing gets cut off while you sort it out.
One more Academy practice mission is open: switching scanner presets. It used to send you to a page that didn't have the preset menu it asks you to use — now it points at the right place and completes the moment you actually do it.
Jul 2, 2026¶
One-tap signup on your phone, scans that keep score, and a journal that explains itself
Signing up on your phone is now one tap: type your email and we send you a sign-in link — no inventing a password on a tiny keyboard. Prefer a password anyway? One tap switches you back.
Your saved custom scans can now filter and sort by float and average volume — the two numbers fast-moving traders asked for most — with matching columns in the results, and an honest notice whenever the data behind them is running behind.
Every scan has started keeping score. Each time a scan fires, we record the price at that moment and grade it against the next day's close. Once a scan has 20 graded fires you'll see its win rate right beside the fire count — until then it says COLLECTING, because we'd rather show nothing than a made-up number.
The journal now tells you when exit efficiency and MFE/MAE genuinely can't be computed: some tickers (delisted or very thinly traded) have no minute-by-minute price history anywhere. You'll see a plain explanation instead of a wall of silent dashes — missing data, clearly labeled, not a math error.
The homepage shows a small live counter of scans run across Tapeboard today — a real number from real usage, refreshed as you watch, never a marketing stat.
Fixed: typing a big share count in the simulator's order ticket (say, 100,000) no longer snaps back to 100 mid-keystroke. Your number stays your number.
The scanner column that said VWAP now says TYP PX, because that's what it actually is — a typical-price calculation (high + low + close ÷ 3), not a true volume-weighted price. Hover it for the full explanation. Labels should say what the number really is.
Watching a crypto chart without an account? A slim bar now offers to track that exact coin for you — free price alerts, one tap, no card.
Plus polish: on mobile, the Academy tip in the journal now sits above the quick-log button instead of covering it, and three Academy practice missions that could never detect completion now can.
Jul 1, 2026¶
Chart drawings that stick, scanner alerts on YOUR terms, and a journal that leads with your real trading
Chart drawing now works the way your hand expects: click a point, click a second point, and the line is placed — and it stays put through an immediate refresh instead of quietly disappearing.
Scanner alerts can now fire when ANY of your conditions hits, not only when all of them line up — look for the new ALL/ANY switch when you set conditions. The alert menu also now opens on top of neighboring panels instead of hiding behind them.
Your dashboard now opens on your real trading whenever you have real trades — paper results are clearly badged wherever they appear, and stats like Sharpe wait for enough trades before showing a number instead of a misleading one.
Your realized P&L is now a link. Tap the number and Tapeboard jumps straight to Review, where every closed trade behind that figure is laid out. And every A-through-F trade grade now comes with the specific reasons behind it.
Signing up and picking a plan now stay in the same dark terminal look as the rest of the site — no more jarring white pages at the finish line.
Clearer trial wording everywhere: every new account gets one free 7-day Pro trial, no card needed. Upgrade mid-trial and your remaining free days carry over.
The menu inside a scanner panel now matches the "+ Add Panel" menu exactly — pick Custom Scanner, a chart, or an info panel from inside any tile and it transforms in place, keeping its spot in your layout. (Spotted by one of our sharpest-eyed traders.)
Plus polish: journal share links moved to shorter /j/ addresses (old links keep working), the Most Active list lost its duplicate rows, mobile journal tabs all fit on screen, a warm welcome email for new magic-link signups, and honest VWAP tooltips.
And on your phone, the homepage now greets you with a live mini-tape — SPY, QQQ, and DIA ticking right under the buttons — so you see real market prices moving before you even create an account.

The new live mini-tape on the mobile homepage — real prices before you sign up.
Jun 30, 2026¶
Your saved scans one click away, and a cleaner, calmer terminal
Your saved scans (MY SCANS) are now right in the Add-Panel menu — drop your own presets into any cockpit layout without hunting for them.
Cleaner tables across the board: the little colored ticker squares are gone from the dense grids so symbols read faster, and the Pro bid/ask lock is now a single tidy control in the column header instead of repeating on every row.
Sign-in and email-verification links now stay valid for a full week, so a link you open the next day still works.
Plus polish: company logos removed for a calmer, more uniform look, tidier tickers in the simulator blotter, and safer links throughout.
Jun 29, 2026¶
Simulator fills that behave, live research prices, and tidier menus Simulator fills now behave like the real thing: a market order fills your full size the moment you submit, and a limit order that’s already in the money fills right when you place it — instead of hanging as if it were still waiting. The research panel’s price now updates live while you watch a name, instead of sitting on the price from when the page loaded. Close a trade on one device and it no longer shows up mis-tagged as a day trade when you pick up on another — your trade history stays consistent across devices. Tidied up the scanner menus so there’s one clear set of options instead of duplicates.
Jun 28, 2026¶
Short-interest filters on the scanner + a steadier live-positions panel Hunt for squeeze setups right in the scanner. Three new filters — short float %, borrow fee, and squeeze score — plus matching optional columns let you screen for the most-shorted, hardest-to-borrow names without leaving your scan. (These read from our short-squeeze leaderboard, so today they cover the most heavily shorted names; any row we don’t have data for is marked, never guessed.) The live Positions panel on the scanner is steadier: your open paper trades stay in sync as you flip between browser tabs, the P&L column scrolls instead of getting clipped, and a duplicate account bar is gone. Signing up is smoother — the create-account button no longer looks greyed-out before you’ve ticked the box, so it’s clear you can go ahead. Plus a faster, steadier scanner under the hood.
Jun 27, 2026¶
A crypto heatmap, watchlists that follow you when you sign in, and stops that stick New crypto heatmap. Open Heatmap and switch to Crypto to see the whole market at a glance — every major coin sized by market cap and colored by its move over the last hour, day, or week. Tap any tile to jump straight to its chart. Building a watchlist before you have an account now actually saves. When you sign up or sign in from the watchlist page, your list comes with you and you land right back on it — no more starting over. In the simulator, the stop-loss and take-profit you attach to a trade now save reliably and travel across your devices. Brackets set the moment a page was loading could occasionally slip on a refresh; your exits now stay exactly where you put them. Every watchlist keeps the ticker in view when you shrink the panel — the Symbol column stays pinned and the prices scroll, on every watchlist surface. Plus polish: cleaner, more legible buttons across the charts and panels. Tapeboard crypto heatmap — major coins sized by market cap and colored by their move The new crypto heatmap — Heatmap → Crypto. Market-cap weighted, with 1h / 24h / 7d views.
Jun 26, 2026¶
Light theme, a take-profit that actually sets a take-profit, and live positions on the scanner Light theme is here. Open Settings → Appearance and choose System, Light, or Dark. "System" is the default, so Tapeboard automatically matches your device's light or dark setting — charts, scanners, panels, and the top bar all follow it. In the simulator, Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Risk are now three separate editors. Take Profit finally sets a real take-profit target instead of reopening the stop dialog, so you can place your exit and your target without mixing them up. Add a live Positions panel to any scanner layout — tap "POSITIONS" in the scanner toolbar to watch your open paper trades (P&L, time, order type) right beside your scans. The simulator positions table now shows the order TYPE (market/limit) too. See why a name is moving at a glance. Every scanner row now carries a single catalyst tag: HALT when trading is paused, NEWS when there's a fresh headline (tap it to read), HOD when it's breaking its high of day, or NEW when it just hit the scan. One clear label instead of scattered icons — and it stays readable even on the tightest panels. Your watchlist keeps the ticker visible when you shrink the panel — the Symbol column stays pinned and the rest scrolls, so you never lose track of what you're looking at. Pre-market scanners (Pre-Market Gap Up and friends) show stocks again during the pre-market session instead of coming up empty. On mobile, a stray tap on the scanner no longer lands on the wrong row behind the detail panel, and the simulator's advanced order ticket scrolls so you can reach every field and the Buy/Sell buttons. Plus a smoother, faster scanner, an at-a-glance read on which names have news (now legible at any contrast), and polish throughout. Tapeboard charts in the new light theme Light theme — Settings → Appearance. Defaults to System, so it follows your device automatically. The Tapeboard scanner workspace in light theme The whole terminal — scanners, charts, and panels — now follows light or dark.
Jun 25, 2026¶
Import trades from any broker & fills that behave like the real market Bring in trades from any broker — not just the ones we support natively. A new mapping wizard lets you match your CSV columns (symbol, side, quantity, price, date) to Tapeboard's fields, so if your broker can export a spreadsheet, you can import it. Tastytrade is also now a first-class supported broker. Limit orders in the simulator now fill the way they actually work: a buy limit at $3.99 fills at $3.75 as the price moves down toward it — not stuck waiting for price to bounce back. Your practice fills are now honest. Clicking a crypto or forex name in your watchlist now takes you to the right page instead of bouncing to the stock research panel. The sidebar connection badge now shows your real round-trip time to Tapeboard's servers — not a static number someone typed in. Plus a faster homepage and polish throughout. The column-mapping wizard for importing trades from any broker CSV Map any broker CSV — the wizard guesses your column layout and shows a live dry-run count before you import. The Tapeboard paper-trading simulator showing an active position Limit orders now fill the way they actually work — at the market, not waiting for a bounce back.
Jun 24, 2026¶
More charting power: VWAP anchored to any candle, custom drawing styles & type-to-change-symbol Anchor a VWAP to any candle on any chart — click a bar to start measuring from there, not just the open of the session. Each drawing tool now remembers your preferred color and style. Set trendlines to your green once and they stay that way every time you draw. Type a new ticker over the active chart and switch symbols without touching the search bar. Resize chart columns by dragging their edges, and sync indicator colors across different timeframes so your setups look consistent whether you're on a 1-minute or a daily chart. New options analytics cards: see Calls-vs-Puts flow and P&L-by-expiry at a glance so you can gauge market sentiment without leaving the scanner. Scan history now saves across sessions — your last results are there when you come back, and inline news and bid/ask columns are available in the scanner grid. Plus compound scanner alerts, off-screen PWA push notifications, and a batch of scanner and cockpit reliability fixes. The Tapeboard chart view with drawing toolbar active and multi-timeframe panels Anchor a VWAP to any candle, draw in your own style — every tool remembers your last color and line weight.

Alerts that reach you with the tab closed, 16 new indicators & more charting and journal power Your indicator alerts now run on our servers and reach you even when Tapeboard is closed — including pre-market and after-hours — by app, email, or a webhook into your own tools. 16 new built-in indicators — TTM Squeeze, Wave Trend, Connors RSI, ALMA, KAMA and more — plus if-style logic (a ? b : c) in your custom chart formulas. New drawing tools: Fixed-Range Volume Profile, Zig-Zag, ATR channel and the Schiff pitchfork — and earnings and economic-event markers pinned right on your charts. Hover one chart and the crosshair now moves on all your linked charts at the same moment, with more one-key chart shortcuts. Your trade-review chart in the journal also gets a timeframe switcher. Connect Interactive Brokers to bring your trades in automatically, and import your options trades from more brokers. New in the journal: a clean monthly PDF export, a community feed of shared trades, a per-trade playbook check, and a friendly nudge when you have trades waiting to be reviewed. Plus deeper intraday history with a 30-day range picker, clearer movers and squeeze pages, and polish throughout. The Tapeboard alerts panel showing multi-condition alert builder with delivery channel options Set a multi-condition alert, choose email or webhook — it fires even when your browser is closed.

Share your journal with a coach, drill into your stats & a new three-pane chart Share your full journal with a coach or mentor through a private link — no account needed for them — and go back and forth in comments on any trade. Your AI trade write-ups now save and stay with each trade, ready whenever you come back. Click any number in your journal reports to drill straight into the trades behind it. Watch more at once with a new three-pane chart layout. Save your own Fibonacci levels as a reusable preset, and reach for drawing tools and timeframes straight from the keyboard. A smoother simulator: the order ticket no longer cuts off Buy/Sell/Short/Cover, and it now matches the main scanner. Plus polish, including a smoother mobile experience.

Draw on your charts, trade options, and fly with the keyboard
Draw right on any chart — trendlines, Fibonacci, rectangles, and notes. Your drawings save per symbol and follow you across devices. Trade options with a full chain: implied volatility plus delta, gamma, theta, and vega for every contract. Trade faster by keyboard — press Shift + ? anytime to see every shortcut, grouped by what it does. Compare more at once with multi-chart layouts on desktop, now easier to find. Each chart’s controls now apply only to the panel you’re working in.
On your phone: the simulator shows the full order-book depth, drops you straight onto the trade ticket, and the journal’s AI breakdown of your trades is back within reach. Your Tape Score now reads the same on your dashboard and in your journal, and it’s explained right on the pricing page — free on every plan.
Plus a lot of polish: clearer pricing, calmer “market closed” messages, sharper text, and accessibility improvements throughout.

No more blank screens, your Tape Score up front & clearer gains/losses
Open the simulator and a chart is already loaded — no more empty “search a symbol” screens to stare at before you can do anything. The Insider, Movers, and Scanner pages never go blank: when the market’s closed they show the last session’s data with a clear “last session” badge, and when there’s genuinely nothing they explain why in plain English and point you to your next move. Your Tape Score now lives right on the dashboard — see how you’re trading in your first session instead of digging for it, with a guided path from your first practice trade to your first real score. Every gain and loss now carries an up/down arrow and a + or − sign, not just red/green color — easier to read at a glance and for anyone who’s colorblind. Sharper, more readable text and tap targets across the dashboard, journal, and scanner, plus a cleaner mobile layout (no more stray sideways scroll). New here? The "practice free" card now drops you straight into a guided first paper trade — place it, close it, and land on your first Tape Score, no guesswork. The dashboard tour now leads with your Tape Score, journal, and simulator instead of the market widgets — so you see what actually matters first. The mobile bar now puts Charts one tap away alongside Scanner, Simulator, and Journal (your own customized bar stays exactly as you set it). Pause button on the top ticker, clearer labels on every icon button, and bigger tap targets — small things that make the terminal easier to use.

Setup tags, a sharper scanner cockpit & streak reminders
Tag your setup before you trade — breakout, VWAP reclaim, fade, dip, momentum, or news — and every practice trade is auto-categorized in your journal, so you can finally see which setups actually pay. Penny Cockpit and Seasonality are now one click away from the desktop sidebar. Scanner cockpit fixes: the panel lock works cleanly again (no more stray duplicate lock that wouldn’t turn off), and the trading-view layout fills the screen correctly even with banners showing — no more cut-off panels. The mobile simulator is rebuilt around three tabs — Watch, Trade, Manage — with a real candlestick chart, a live order-book ladder you can flip to, and faster order-type entry. We’ll remind you before your practice streak ends — a heads-up to log one trade and keep it alive (for anyone with notifications on). Clearer next steps from the scanner and research pages straight into the simulator and your journal.
v2.8.0¶
2026-06-17 A broker-grade simulator + alerts that email you
The simulator now behaves like a real broker: day orders respect market hours and expire at the close, after-hours day-plus orders expire at 8 PM, and short positions show as negative with a clear SHORT tag.
Your order ticket’s estimated fill now matches what actually fills — including realistic after-hours slippage — so the practice account stops flattering you.
Open orders gained a Working / Filled / Cancelled / All filter, buying-power errors now explain cash vs. margin instead of just saying you’re out of money, and duplicate or “ghost” orders can no longer reappear after a refresh.
Multi-condition alerts can now email you when they fire, not just notify in-app — choose the delivery channel per alert.
Close a practice trade and a new prompt points you straight to your AI Journal, where every simulator close is auto-logged so you can review your edge.
Imported trades with no timestamp no longer skew your P&L-by-hour and hold-time stats.
The short-squeeze leaderboard adds an “include risky names” toggle with a plain-language methodology note.
v2.7.5¶
2026-06-16 Honest fills, open positions & a live halt tape

Log open positions: record a trade with no exit price yet and close it out later, all in a redesigned, faster trade-entry form.
Shared trades now auto-attach a branded chart with your entry and exit marked — your shared trade cards finally look like the real thing.
The short-squeeze leaderboard shows a 30-day score sparkline for every name, so you can read momentum at a glance.
New /halts page: a live tape of today’s US trading halts — LULD circuit breakers, news, and regulatory halts — with resume times.
Your practice trades now track time-in-force and order provenance and persist cleanly across reloads, so the simulator behaves consistently and honestly.
A cleaner, consistent public API with a discovery index and rate-limit headers, for anyone wiring Tapeboard data into their own tools.
v2.7.02¶
026-06-15 A simulator you can trust + a sharper cockpit
Guided 60-second first paper trade — place, fill, P&L, and auto-logged to your journal in one walkthrough.
Trade fills are now server-validated (no more impossible prices or malformed tickers), regulatory fees are tracked, and your journal hides practice trades by default so your real stats stay honest.
Place a trade on your phone from a bottom-sheet order ticket — three taps, no pinching or sideways scrolling.
Scanner cockpit: lock any panel so it can’t be dragged or closed by accident, every Add-Panel option now has a description, and charts scroll left/right with room to breathe — dragging a panel now only works from its header.
Set a price alert straight from the chart, place two-point drawings with simple click-then-click, and crypto charts now show an honest crypto research panel instead of stock-only filings.
New: a “today’s biggest insider buys” feed on /insider, and Reg SHO threshold-days on the squeeze leaderboard.
