CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.58.0 (as compared to 5.57.1)
- Automatic setup and update of stock symbol listing, together with sectors, industries, markets and groups (Tools->Update US symbol list and categories). This is implemented using new #import command (see below for the details). IMPORTANT: Using this function will wipe existing sector/industry structure and generate new one.
- UI: custom tools menu – added special internal command #import that allows to import ASCII files from local disk or even from remote (web) sources
- UI: custom tools menu – when an error occurs during launching of external command appropriate error message is displayed (instead of nothing like in old versions)
- The support for Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) category system added
- OLE: Stock object has new property (string): ICB (read/write)
- Interval combo box was not updated after changing preferences / intraday / custom interval settings. Fixed.
- ASCII importer: support for importing sector/industry scheme and assignments by name (new SECTORNAME and INDUSTRYNAME fields in $FORMAT command) and $CLEARSECTORS 1 / $SORTSECTORS 1 command to clean up / sort existing sector/industry structure
- ASCII importer: crash could occur if required numeric arguments for some commands were missing. Fixed.
- ASCII importer: added support for ICB import: ICB field added to $FORMAT command and added $ICB command
- ASCII importer: numeric field data may be enclosed in double quotation marks and still properly interpreted as numbers now.
- Analysis: when optimization is stopped, Optimize() returned NON-default value when Status(“action”)==actionPortfolio in subsequent backtest. Fixed
- AFL: SetChartOptions did not allow to overwrite miny/maxy in 5.51-5.57. Fixed.
- AFL: CategoryGetSymbols, CategoryGetName, CategorySetName, CategoryAddSymbol, CategoryRemoveSymbol, CategoryFind updated to support categoryICB (new constant = 8)
- AFL: added InIcb() and IcbID() functions
- Added Status(“lastbartimeleftrt”) – it works like “lastbartimeleft” but uses the most recent RT stream update time instead of Now(). Added Status(“lastrtupdate”) – time of last RT stream update
