Thanks very much for this new graph feature "Step line" in FM 2026. For someone who do graphical analysis like me, this is an incredible feature. The price movements, and price reversals, a so much easier to see at a glance, this is amazing. The reading of price movements is so cleared that I wonder if this is not even better than candles for technical analysis in absolute terms.
So, to me, if I had to keep only just one feature in this version, it would be this one. Fortunately I haven't to do so
Anyway, I have one comment and one request on the feature (FM 2026 beta):
The request:
Don't apply step line style to graph elements other than the prices. In particular on moving averages, Bollinger Bands, etc.
Those elements are smoothed by definition, very small variations between each step, so no benefit. It makes just the rendering not good on those elements by adding aliasing.
The comment:
This feature deserves to be highlighted (eg. for example, on the page listing the software's functions). The feature is lost among the other graph options of lesser importance, it would be a pity if people who might be interested weren't informed that it exists.
This feature is not widespread even on the dedicated trading plateforms (but TradingView). It could be of great interest to anyone involved in graphical analysis. So it's also a feature to be considered alongside the other software's technical analysis functions.
