Advancing Accessibility for All Users

At ChartIQ, we are committed to an inclusive charting experience. This year, we introduced even more accessibility features to enhance usability for all users. Key updates include:

• Command Line UI: A new interface for quicker discovery and access to chart commands.
• Expanded Screen Reader Support: Ensuring a seamless experience for visually impaired users.
• Color Blindness-Friendly Themes: Offering accessible color schemes.

These updates are fully WCAG-compliant, ensuring that all users—regardless of their needs—can navigate and utilize the platform with ease.

Multi-Periodicity: Deeper Insights with Multiple Timeframes

The introduction of Multi-Periodicity Support has significantly enhanced ChartIQ’s financial analysis capabilities. This feature allows users to display data across different timeframes on the same chart, simplifying trend comparisons across multiple periods. Imagine overlaying quarterly data on a daily chart for a comprehensive market understanding—this is precisely what Multi-Periodicity allows.
