Why does my gas-o-meter parties like it's Friday?

Basically title and video. Whenever I'm driving or just starting the car the gass-o-meter is jumping left and right all the time.

It used to be more subtle but it is getting worse. Something I can fix myself as a noob?

How data helps me with creating new features

Hello everybody,

I am here to share happycharts, the trading simulator app that helps to aim to teach people how to trade before they lose all their money in the markets.

I have a backlog full with tickets and features based on what I think should be implemented and could be helpful to the trading community. However, sometimes it is hard to determine what the focus really should be. In order to combat that, I have a voting mechanism at the end of the tournament ( each player can create tournaments in which they play multiple trading rounds. What you see on the video were examples of trading rounds within a single tournament ).

One of the highly requested features was to practise specific trading patterns. And now its finally here. A nice big data driven milestone. Happy to hear some feedback :D

Good day everyone,

First of all, I want to thank everyone for supporting my last post regarding happycharts, the trading simulator app, that aims to help people to learn how to trade in a fun and efficient way. You guys gave me cool feedback here on Reddit, and your feature votes on the platform really helped me moving forward. So big thanks to you guys!

Today I'd like to share the newest, and most requested features that people were requesting. The two most asked features in the past month were:
- more trading indicators
- real time mode
- honorable mention for the trading dashboard.

First lets talk indicators: in the previous patch, you could unlock indicators by either playing and paying with happypoints, or get happypoints directly. The data showed that this was bad design - people still wanted the indicators but didn't want to purchase them ( not even with their freely received HappyPoints ). So I opened the gates completely and now all the indicators, themes, and dashboard functions are free from the gate. There is now an unlimited time, limited use free trial instead. So I hope this helps people enjoy the platform more right from the start and get the full experience while testing the waters.

The biggest request was the newly added real time mode which is showcased in the post video. The candles are ticked on the screen, and you can make as many trades as you like. This will hopefully mimic the real trading experience more, especially for those who prefer the intraday timeframes.

The trading dashboard is now also open for everyone right from the start. and I've lowered the amount of trades required to see your platform rankings ( from 25 to 10 ).

Couple of tips for real time mode and some ux boosts:
- You can pause/play the chart by pressing the space bar
- You can reset the chart position to lock and trace the new candles when you double click the chart
- You can reset the pricing scale by double clicking the price-axis.

Thanks for reading my update, and have a great day everyone.
