We are excited to announce the latest updates to SharkSignals, featuring new tools designed to give you more hands-on control over your automated strategies. This release introduces dedicated manual trade controls, expands our event logging capabilities for comprehensive performance tracking, and includes important stability improvements for our BlackBird users.

Manual Trade Controls & Trade Plan Enhancements

We have instituted a new manual trade control system that allows you to execute trades directly from a dedicated interface. By interacting with your active trade plans—which already seamlessly handle your risk-reward parameters, order settings, and entry types—you can now manually intervene or test strategies on the fly.

To support this, a special Manual trade node has been built directly onto the visual trade plan canvas. As seen in the new interface, selecting this node opens a dedicated side panel where you can specify the symbol, asset class, and quantity. This allows you to fire off a test signal—whether buying, selling, or flattening—straight into your existing logic flow without needing to leave the trade plan screen.

Trade Request Event Logging

We have significantly fleshed out how trade request events are handled on the backend. While these are under-the-hood infrastructure improvements that won't change your day-to-day experience immediately, they lay the critical groundwork for powerful upcoming frontend features. Once this system is fully integrated into the user interface in a future update, it will enable:

• Database Logging: Systematic capture and secure database storage of all your automated and manual trade request events.

• Status Tracking: The ability to actively monitor the live status and execution performance of every trade request as it moves through the system.

• Historical Review: A comprehensive historical data view, allowing you to review exactly how each past trade performed over time.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Alongside the new SharkSignals features, we have addressed several known issues with SharkIndicators BlackBird to ensure smoother and more reliable execution.

• BlackBird Flattening: Resolved an issue where active trades were not flattening properly under specific conditions.

• BlackBird Execution: Fixed behavioral bugs that caused exit orders to not be placed correctly.
