2016 was an eventful year for Investar and we at Investarindia.com achieved several milestones in 2016. From our product to our team, we increased the number of ways we help customers, improve their trading skills and make it easier for them to trade with confidence.
So what were Investar’s biggest moments of 2016?
In Jan 2016, guided by your feedback, we worked really hard to introduce the most requested features while improving our existing ones in Investar Mobile 3.1 with following features:
- Live intraday candlestick chart updates(Stocks/FO)
- Live NSE Stocks/F&O updates
- Unlimited watch-lists on registration
- Buy/Sell signals
- Step-by-Step tour
- And much more
In Feb 2016, we launched an all new “Investar 5.2” with lots of new features like Automatic Support/Resistance, Intraday Scans for Risk/Reward ratio, Risk/Reward ratio and Stop-Loss based on Auto Support/Resistance displayed in chart, Scans based on partial candle updated on every tick, Automatic Support/Resistance-related Scans for all timeframes. (Crossing Resistance/Support, Near Resistance/Support, High Risk/Reward ratio scans) and much more…
We participated in FinBridgeExpo (Mumbai on 6-7 Feb), where our Founder & CEO, Himanshu Patil, gave a well-attended talk on “Support/Resistance Trading Strategies“.
He talked about the various Support/Resistance-based strategies like Fibonacci Retracements, Pivot Points, New Highs/Lows, Support/Resistance Zones etc. and how it is one of the most important techniques in Technical Analysis but is often misused or not put to full use because of the lack of a proper strategy.
We again participated in FinBridgeExpo (Ahmedabad 15-16 Oct), where the same talk was given in Hindi for the benefit of a non-English speaking audience.
And soon after in July 2016 with all the positive feedback from all Investar users, we launched “Investar 5.3” with Option Chain (with Put/Call ratio), Direct Trading through Zerodha Account and much more.
At Investar, our goal has always been to provide good value to our customers and we had done that with a philosophy of “pay for what you use” (as in evident in the configurable software we provide in terms of base editions and addons). But the biggest and best news for Technical Analysis enthusiasts came right near the end of the year in September 2016 with “Investar 5.4” where we totally revamped our Basic edition and also re-launched the Investar Lite edition. Investar Lite is a version of Investar that is available, at no cost (free for lifetime), to anyone who is eager to trade in the stock market. It is especially well-suited for students of Technical Analysis so that they don’t have to spend anything while they are learning. What gets us motivated is to make our software’s feature set so complete so that you don’t have to switch to any other, expensive software.
We were also able to introduce a new Mobile beta release with many new features like Scan Alerts, Zerodha trading and enhanced Charting features, that brought the often requested scan alerts feature to the mobile world.
We look forward to keep on improving Investar every year so that it becomes the software of choice for every trader, whether long-term, short-term or intraday.
2016 was a great year. We are looking forward to 2017!
