Changelog

What is new in QuarkFX.

Every change to Prop Firm News Shield, the Economic Calendar and the website, newest first.

26 Oct 2026Calendar
Pick your time zone on the Economic Calendar
The calendar now follows your computer’s time zone by default, and you can switch to any zone in the world.
- A time zone button beside the calendar, with popular trading zones, every IANA zone, flags and search.
- The same setting as Settings > Alerts, so News Shield and the calendar always show one zone.
- Releases at the same moment are grouped into one block, and the next block is outlined whatever currencies it holds.
- Tentative and All Day events show that label and are never treated as the next release.
26 Oct 2026News Shield
An installable app and the extension’s timer card
News Shield can be added to your phone’s home screen, and its timer now looks and behaves like the Chrome extension.
- Install the web app from the Help menu or the Downloads page (Add to Home Screen on iPhone).
- The timer card and the next high-impact event card follow the extension, with the status glow and the pixel digits.
- Settings > Subscription shows your plan, the days left and when access ends.
- Settings > Devices lists every connected app, with a Disconnect button.
