TC2000 Changelog

What's new in TC2000 20.0.7541.25634

• Pre-Market Mode:
• Pre-market mode turns on streaming data before the market opens in the morning. Toggle this mode on and off in the top right corner of TC2000. The green checkmark means pre-market data is streaming to your charts, watchlists, scans & sorts.
• While in this mode, the "Volume Buzz" watchlist column will change to "Pre Buzz." Sort by this column to see which stocks have unusual activity. It’s a great way to get a jump on your trading day and find stocks with overnight news and rumors.
• Not all stocks trade in the pre-market. It can be confusing to see pre-market stocks mixed in with stocks that last traded yesterday (especially when you sort & scan). You may wish to work from the "Premarket" watchlist to make sure you are only viewing stocks with activity today. You’ll find it under the WatchLists button on the main toolbar. As new stocks trade in the morning, they will automatically by added to this watchlist. The premarket watchlist can be used for scanning & sorting.
• Post-Market Mode:
• Post-market mode turns on streaming data after the market closes at 4:00pm ET. Toggle this mode on and off in the top right corner. Data is streaming when the green checkmark is on. The watchlist column "Volume Buzz" will change to "Post Buzz." Only after-hours volume will be used in the calculation for post buzz. Sorting by the column can help you identify stocks with unusual after-hour activity.
• If you wish to only work with stocks that have traded after 4:00pm, use the "Postmarket" watchlist.
• Scan Plots:
• Scan plots show how many stocks pass your scan historically. They can make for good market timing indicators and are useful for checking if your scan conditions are too strict or loose. Counting stocks that pass conditions to create market indicators is not new. They are typically called market breadth indicators. The advance/decline line is simply a count of how many stocks are up versus how many are down for the day.
• Now with Platinum, you can create custom historical counts on any watchlist, any conditions, any timeframes. Even simple conditions make for interesting graphs.
• Below is an example of a scan plot for RSI is less than 25. The condition is counted against the HighCap 1000 watchlist. This in theory would count how many stocks are oversold, or at least pulling back. The scan plot appears to surge each time the SPY daily chart pulls back giving you a good feel of how many stocks are ebbing and flowing with each swing.
• Historical Scan Results
• Automatic Scan Refresh Intervals
• Flex Conditions Bring New Power to Scanning:
• Conventional conditions must pass at specific points in time, making them "rigid".
• Flex conditions can pass within a window of time, making them "flexible". Also, flex conditions can be set to pass in a specific order through this window of time, which we call the "flex period".
• Click & Drag to Draw, Sort or Zoom
• Improved Timeframe Management for Conditions:
• You don’t have to decide the timeframe of a condition when you design it. If you want to use the condition on three different timeframes, you don’t need to save three versions of it. Just save it once.
• You apply timeframes to conditions at the time you use them, just like the timeframe picker on your charts.
• This makes it convenient to switch timeframes on your scans without having to open and edit your conditions every time. If you have five conditions in your scan, all five time frames can be changed with just a couple clicks.
• Timeframes can now be linked between scans and charts so your scan results automatically match your charts.
• Link Timeframes between Charts & Scans:
• This feature alone will save you hours. Notice that scans now have a timeframe picker and timeframe link color. The example below is scanning for stocks that are above their Bollinger band top channel. If you set the timeframe link color on the watchlist and chart to the same color (orange in this case), the timeframes will stay synced between your scan results and chart. As you switch timeframes on your chart, the scan results will always match.
• Conditional Color Bars:
• You can add colors to any plots based on conditions. The example below colors the price white when RSI 9 makes a double bottom within a 50 bar flex period. Please use this only as an example to help you develop your own ideas. Do not make investment decisions based on it. The yellow prices show when price is above a 20 period Bollinger Band®. Coloring prices helps quickly identify when your conditions passed historically on a chart.
• Custom Date Sort:
• The Custom Date Sort tool makes it convenient to instantly sort a watchlist between any two days. In the example to the left, we dragged a line from the S&P 500 top in February to the current high made in May. We added a drawing tool "Last to Last Line." This line will appear on every stock as you flip through the charts making it easy to identify the window of time and the movement of each stock over it. Click the sort button and you have your watchlist sorted between the two points in time.
• Copy Conditions to the Clipboard:
• Condition editors now have a copy button. When you click it, all conditions are copied to the clipboard. A paste button will appear to show you that conditions are available in the clipboard. This is a handy tool to duplicate conditions within an editor or to paste conditions into the editor of another scan, scan plot, alert, etc.
• Enhanced Multi-Window & Multi-Monitor Support:
• Workflows for multi-window and multi-monitor support have been improved and streamlined. It’s easy to move individual tool windows as well as entire layouts between windows and monitors. Move buttons have always been available on individual tool windows. Now they are also available in the upper right of each layout. Choosing "move" will let you move an item within a layout or to another layout window. Choosing "float" will put the item into its own new layout window.
• "Duplicate" is a Handy Timesaver:
• Click the move icon in the upper right of any tool window and choose Duplicate. This will make an instant copy of any watchlist, scan, chart or even an entire layout. This is handy when you want to create a new item starting from an existing item. It’s also nice when you want to experiment without worrying about breaking the original item.
• Share Your Charts, Scans & More:
• From the same move menu described above, click on Share. You can share symbol lists, watchlist windows, scans, conditions, charts, chart templates, reports, even entire layouts. You will be given the option to share directly to Facebook or Twitter or copy the link to the clipboard.
• You can email the link to a friend, post on your website or post to your favorite social media feed. People with the link can import the item into their own TC2000.
• Custom Colors:
• When selecting a color from any color picker, click the "+" button to add your own custom color. The color will become available in every color picker throughout the software.
• Enhanced Performance, Speed & Stability:
• TC2000 Windows software and data servers have been meticulously optimized. You should notice a significant difference in speed and system performance. This is the best release in 25 years and it is also the lightest weight. That means it’s less demanding on your machine and more stable. Hope you enjoy the improvements. We certainly enjoyed making this new version.
• Modernized Facelift:
• After many years of looking the same, TC2000 got a facelift for 2020. New branding, new logo, new modern toolbars. Why wouldn’t you want your trading software to look as good as it performs? Don’t worry, it’s the same software, just refined and improved.
