A lot has quietly gotten better at Stein Investments over the past weeks, mostly in the background. Instead of telling you about it in a stream of single updates, we are gathering it in one place from now on. This is the first Innovation Report: what improved, grouped by product, and how it helps you day to day.

Power Candles

Power Candles saw more iterations than any other tool in this period and moved to a new panel design with version 4.0, aligned with the Premium Trade Manager.

  • Display settings now persist when you switch symbols. Glancing at another pair no longer means rebuilding your configuration every time.
  • Signal arrows and labels now render cleanly behind the panel instead of over it, a real difference on smaller screens.
  • Indicator and Scanner now run in sync. When the Scanner finds the best strategy for a symbol, the Indicator on the same chart picks it up automatically.

Power Candles Scanner

Power Candles Scanner: stop-to-target gauge with the R multiple per signal

  • The stop-to-target readout now updates every second with the live price. The risk-to-target ratio is readable the moment you enter.
  • A new column shows it as a visual gauge: stop on the left, target on the right, the current price in between. The R multiple at a glance.
  • Scan results now survive timeframe changes, and a fresh scan only runs on genuine new bars.

Premium Trade Manager

Premium Trade Manager panel

The biggest change since launch: the trading coach Max is now reachable directly inside the panel.

  • Before entering, you can send the planned trade to Max. Max reads direction, risk and market context and answers inside the panel, without leaving MetaTrader.
  • Nine prop firms are now natively integrated, including FTMO and FundedNext. The manager checks daily and drawdown limits during the session and blocks entries that would break a rule.
  • The current spread is graded per instrument, so you can see whether the cost of the planned trade sits in a normal range.
  • The nine major pairs now sit at the top of the symbol picker. No more scrolling.

Yukon

Yukon panel

  • Lot sizing now works correctly on cent accounts, and the daily P/L panel shows the right value again after a terminal restart.
  • Yukon now closes positions ahead of US holidays and shortened trading days. No more open positions across thin, event-light closures.
  • During unusually wide spreads, for example in news minutes, Yukon pauses new entries automatically and avoids poor fills.

Smart Stop

  • The Smart Stop Scanner received a full interface redesign: canvas rendering, sortable columns, click a symbol to jump to its chart.
  • A new quality filter means alerts only fire above a configurable minimum grade. Less noise, clearer signals.
  • In the Smart Stop Manager, the number of displayed trades is now adjustable, which keeps things readable on smaller screens.

FX Trend, FX Power and IX Power

  • FX Trend's trend-line values now appear in the MetaTrader data window, handy for manual reads or working alongside other tools. The panel was cleared of parameter codes and shows only what matters.
  • FX Power and IX Power now run with noticeably lower CPU load on weaker machines and VPS environments. Running several instances in parallel is where you feel it most.

All of this points one way: less friction, more clarity, calmer tools that carry you through the day. Where we go next is partly your call. Tell us in two minutes what matters to you and shape what we build: stein.investments/survey.
