In recent weeks the Stockopedia team has wrapped up work on some important design and functionality improvements.

You now have much-improved Mini Charts right across the site, delivering more stock-level technical data in an instant. Our design team has also rolled out a host of subtle but essential changes that ensure we're meeting web industry standards on colours and typography - making Stockopedia easier to read and even better to use.

Mini Charts - more data on more stocks in one view

Mini Charts are a familiar feature right across Stockopedia. Whether you're reviewing lists of stocks in indices, sectors, screens or portfolios, our Tables always give you the option to switch between the standard Table View and Chart View:

In Chart View you now get the new Mini Charts. These are fast-loading price charts for every stock on the list, but they come packed with detail...

For a start, you can change the time range of your Mini Charts to anywhere between one week and six years using the Range menu at the top of the table:

In addition, each Mini Chart includes:

The current share price and percentage price change on the previous day's close (up to 15 minutes delayed)
The 50-Day Simple Moving Average to give an idea of the medium term technical trend in the price
A Volume chart showing share trading volumes over the time range you have selected
A country flag indicating where the stock is quoted

By clicking a Mini Chart you'll be taken to the stock's main price chart in the Stockopedia's Charts area.

The new Mini Charts are a big step forward from the mini charts that were previously used in the app. They are fast loading and come packed with information, making it quicker and easier to review price and momentum trends and data.

Striving for world-class design standards

Stockopedia's designers have the incredibly tough job of making sure our powerful functionality is easy to use, read and navigate. The balance between aesthetics and functionality is all the more complicated when you consider the wide ranging demands of users with different levels of experience and expectations.

Design plays a crucial part in every…

Can you have more than 1 MA on the mini charts? If so how?

How are you accessing the old site, I'm unable to do this? There are a lot of things missing on the new site still that I want to access but I was told by support that it was 'no longer possible to switch back to the old site'. If there is a way I would be massively appreciative if you could share the method. Thanks in advance.

Agreed, I was also told years ago that we would be able to use more than 10 portfolios when the new site launched.....but nope still limited to 10 portfolios.

You just go to your profile, top right and then just switch to old site. I rarely use the new site.

But even the old site has been very slow recently.

I think support are not telling you the correct info. I have just done it.

Now been fixed - daily data and much better charts.

Many thanks to the stockopedia team for updating.

I just tried it on the new site and several came up with error messages: no prices available and still very slow.

Switched back to the old system and no problems with the charts.

Thanks Herbie, I don’t have that option. I’ll contact support again. The new site constantly freezes and gets stuck a for me. :/

Why don't you have that option?

Hi there, if you can drop us a line on the green support button - we can have a look at your link and see what the error is.

I just tried the mini-charts, but could not replicate the 'No prices' issue.

herbie - I wonder if new subscribers don't have the option to access the old site.

It's a concern for me as my subscription comes up for renewal next month. I have already cancelled the auto renewal and am thinking that I will probably allow it to expire.

Will stocko really want to maintain two sites or will the old one be switched off without much warning. I still don't like the new site (I access via a desktop with a largish screen which doesn't suit the layout).

Yes I believe new subscribers don't have access but the one I answered is not new. Looks like the old site is being run down, any problems and they won't be sorted out.

I also use a PC most of the time or an ipad, the old site is fine on those, I can't get on with the new site and there are too many problems.

One of the feature I have liked on Stockopedia is the company valuation function that uses various different methodologies some of which can be customised. It gives you company value ranges to consider. I cannot find this function on the new site so will stick with the old.

Well done on the changes. Seem to work fine. My main criticism is that the green trend line on the mini charts is too faint and I have difficulty seeing it. They were darker and clearer on the old version.

Sadly, also, the trend line has gone on the pop-up charts when you hover over a stock. I found those very useful.

Wish you'd look at a dark mode BTW

Any new shiny developments going to take place, been quiet on the updates since this one back in April?

23rd Jul '20

Can someone tell me where I find mini-charts with the green trendlines? The ones that pop up on my folios don't show them, which is a pity

Do you mean the 50MA line?

24th Jul '20

That's the one. It comes up in the stockranks mini charts but not on the pop-ups when you hover over a stock. It used to.

Agree darkmode is getting more and more useful as you have big screens, help you protect your eyes

The chart view is a great tool. It only shows the SMA 50 however. Is it possible to add the SMA 200 to this at some point? I care more about the SMA 200 than the SMA 50, so if I had to choose only one, it would easily be the SMA 200. But having both would be even better.

"They are fast loading"

I don't agree, they are very slow loading, the old site took seconds, now they can take many minutes.

Yes the pop-up when hoovering over the stock name seems to have disappeared as well.
