  • New Indicator: Multiple Price Highlighter. The Multiple Price Highlighter Indicator (MPH) is designed to identify multiple prices within any given bar that present various volume-based characteristics. For example, the user many choose to identify the prices in each bar for which volume traded over 1000 contracts by specifying "Highlight Prices With: Volume: Above X: X = 1000. Alternatively, users can identify prices with volume Below X, Highest X Prices, Lowest X Prices, Highest X% of Prices, and Lowest X% of Prices. When user specifies "Highest X Prices" with X = 3 for instance, 3 prices will be highlighted in each bar which represent the 3 prices in the bar with the highest volume.

    User may also choose to highlight bars with the Keppler Volume Tracker (KVT). This indicator was developed by Dr. John Keppler. The logic behind this indicator is proprietary but is designed to identify relative high volume prices taking into consideration the time of day. The two KVT Multipliers default to 10 and 20 and are used to adjust the sensitivity of KVT. The number of days specified tells KVT how far to consider data when determining relatively high volume. The user must ensure that the view period of the chart is greater than the number of days specified and that data is present for more than that number of days.
     

  • eSignal Extended Historical Data Now Supported. eSignal users who have signed up for eSignal's extended historical data can now access longer term tick data and one minute interval data. eSignal reports that the extended service allows users to access 12 years of minute-based bar data for North American equities and indexes, and 2 years of North American, European and Asian futures, Forex and treasuries. The new extended historical data will be especially helpful to back testers who require large amounts of historical data to track the performance of their strategies across all types of market patterns and conditions. Tick data, normally limited to the most recent 10 trading days, is now available for the last 40 trading days. Minute interval data, normally limited to the last 120 trading days is now available for 2+ years back. To support longer term downloading of extended historical data, Investor/RT will download and import the data in incremental segments, the most recent data arriving first and subsequent segments bringing in increasingly older data. A 30 day tick download may result in say 10 segments, the first arriving fairly quickly updating the chart(s) with the most recent 3 days or so of ticks and the next 9 segments bring in another 3 days of older ticks. This is an improvement over version 10.4 where Investor/RT would collect all the data for the entire download before importing any of it and updating the charts. The charts will fairly quickly reflect the most recent trading sessions and be usable while additional segments of data arrive incrementally. A configuration variable kConfigUL_eSignalChunks, set to 2 by default controls how much data is downloaded before importing a segment. The setting of 2 allows current and prior session tick data to be downloaded as a single segment; double the setting to 4 to increase the segment size for example. This will increase the time it takes to get the first segment of a long term download, but will result in fewer segments overall as the download proceeds.
     

  • Range, Change, Renko Periodicity Expressed in Tick Increment Units. Investor/RT has long supported range bars, change bars, and Renko bars. Each of these periodicities is specified along with a numeric price range, or change amount, or box size in the case of Renko bars. The numeric amount specified has heretofore been expressed as an absolute amount, e.g. a 1.0 Range Bar periodicity for the ES futures represent a range of 5 trading prices in the ES contract. Because ES trades in .25 increments each range bar will include all trading at 5 distinct prices (the opening price of the bar plus 4 other prices above or below that opening price. Changing a 1.0 Range Chart from ES to some other futures contract that trades in .01 increments would produce range bars that span 101 trading prices due to the smaller tick increment. This is seldom the desired result.

    In version 10.5 Range and Change amounts and Renko box size can be expressed in terms of a whole number of trading prices for the underlying future. The range and change amount is determined from the tick increment of the futures, i.e. changing a chart from one type of future to another will adjust the range amount automatically based on the tick increment of the future. For the ES contract, for example, if you specify a 5 tick range this means that each range bar will include trades at 5 distinct prices and will therefore include a 1.0 amount of price range. In general, if N is the tick range/change then the corresponding amount of range change will be (N - 1) times the tick increment of the future. If a future has display format 99.99 a tick increment of .01 is implied, thus a 5 tick range or change bar will include a price range of (5 - 1) times .01 which equals .04. Version 10.5 allows you to specify periodicity in absolute terms just as 10.4 does, by including a decimal in the periodicity entry. Using the Periodicity selection window, if you choose Range Bars and specify 1.0 you get a price range per bar of 1.0. If you specify a whole number, say 5, as the range without the decimal point, Investor/RT will give you a 5 tick range bar, i.e. a range bar that includes 5 distinct prices of the associated instrument. When upgrading to 10.5 all existing setups will continue to be price value range/change/box size. For example an ES chart might show 2.0 Price Range Per Bar in the Periodicity Window. You can replace 2.0 with 9 to get the equivalent 2.0 range expressed in tick prices, i.e. 9 distinct prices at .25 increments from the opening price of each range bar.
     

  • Multi-Session Intraday Periodicity. In the Periodicity window, the Time Per Bar option has long been used to specify some number of minutes and seconds, the constant duration of each bar formed from the underlying intra-day data. Time intervals have been limited to a span of time of at most one 24 hour trading session, e.g. 405 minutes for a 6.75 hour day session, or 1425 for a full overnight session (1440 minutes is 24 hours, less 15 minutes for inter-session break). In version 10.5 when Time Per Bar is selected, a units menu button is provided. Normally it will show Minutes : Seconds and the time interval is specified in the usual way. The units button also includes choices for days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. When one of these units is chosen, Investor/RT will accept a whole number of units, e.g. 1 week, or 3 days, or 3 months, or 1 quarter. These time interval periodicities, unlike normal daily, weekly, monthly charts in Investor/RT, will use intraday data as the source for constructing fixed time interval bars. The use of intra-day historical data to construct multi-session interval bars makes it possible to employ full overnight session intra-day data to construct say a weekly chart of just the day session hours. Investor/RT will consider only the intra-day ticks and bars within the day session hours when the chart calla for a day session override. A 1 day chart constructed from overnight session data will show the OHLCV for the full trading session, override to the day session to then see OHLCV bars for each day considering only the trading that occurred in the day session hours.
     

  • VWAP Enhancements. The VWAP Indicator has been enhanced to allow the user to automatically chart the weekly VWAP. In the process of adding this option, several other custom VWAP durations were all consolidated to a single listbox. These options include: Weekly, Cumulative From Date/Time, Composite Average (All Data), First X Minutes of Session and Last X Minutes of Session. With the new Weekly VWAP options, users can now see the developing weekly VWAP historically on their intraday charts. Also a "Time-Weighted" option has been added to the VWAP Indicator. When this option is checked, the indicator will give equal weighting to each price if each bar instead of using the volume of each price. The Time-Weighting option is more of a TPO-based approach similar to what is used in Market Profile charting.
     

  • Extended Naked Fractals. The Fractals Indicator identifies key relative highs and lows. A new options has been added to the Fractal Indicator to allow users to extend these naked highs and lows until they are touched by a future bar. The user may specify the color, width, and style of these extension lines with different color for the highs and lows. The user may also specify whether to extend all fractals, the last x fractals, or all visible fractals. The fractal indicator can also be added to indicator panes such as the cumulative delta implementation of the Volume Breakdown indicator. This new feature can help users identify divergence and levels of divergence between price bars and indicator bars or values. A check box was also added to the Fractal Indicator titled "Hide Fractal Markers" which gives the user the ability to hide the markers while showing the extended naked lines.
     

  • Retracement Bands. The Bands Indicator has a new option for "Retracement Bands" with up to 12 retracement levels and colors. Within the Bands Indicator is an option for "Compact Band" style. The Compact Band draws a small band of user specified width along the right edge of the chart between the values of two user-specified custom indicators. The ability to specify the width of the band is also new in 10.5. The indicators can identify key prices such as session high and low, B high and low, previous session high and low, weekly high and low, etc. When the compact band option is specified, a new "Retracement Band" check box is presented. When checked, the user is then given the option to specify up to 12 retracement levels, each with it's own color. These retracement levels are specified in % retracement. A 100% band would match the original band. A 150% band would extend the original high and low by 50% of the range of the original levels. A 200% band would be a full extension of the range in both direction. A 50% band would draw a small line at the center of the range. Labels can be placed over the compact band or in the scale providing either the retracement level or price of the band. If multiple compact bands are added to the same chart they will automatically be stacked side by side.
     

  • New Options for Quoteboard Indicator. Two new options have been added to the Quoteboard indicator. A "Hide Quoteboard" check box has been added to allow the user to plot lines/levels without the presence of the Quoteboard itself. A "Left Align Labels" check box has been added to enable alignment of the labels to the left edge of the label column of the Quoteboard. The color of the Quoteboard text is also more aware of the background color of each row, and now draws white text when the background color reach a certain darkness instead of always printing black text.
     

  • Profile Indicator Enhancements. Several enhancements were make to the Profile Indicator. Peak and Valley lines can now be customized with color, width, and style. User may now specify the width of time-based profiles in pixels. Peaks and Valleys are now based on Time instead of Volume for time-based profiles.
     

  • Developing VPOC for Composite Profiles. Users may now plot the developing VPOC using the Profile Indicator's RTL token "PROF". A new result has been added to PROF titled "Developing VPOC". When this result is selected, the developing VPOC is computed. When plotted, the result is similar to the developing VPOC available to the TPO Indicator. However, with this new PROF option, the user can access the developing VPOC of any of the many durations available to the Profile Indicator including daily, weekly, monthly, or even multi-year composites. In addition, this implementation is much more efficient than using the TPO Indicator. Those that are currently using TPO Indicator to plot the developing VPOC should reconsider this new option.
     

  • Pivot Point "Locked" Option Added. A check box has been added to the Pivot Point indicator titled "Locked". When the pivot point is locked, it cannot be adjusted with the keyboard. When a pivot point is unlocked, the left and right arrows on the keyboard adjust the "Bars Back" setting when the Pivot Point is selected. Most user would prefer the "Bars Back" setting remain locked at 0. This new option is similar to the "locked" check box of the Reference Line indicator which locks the reference line to a price and doesn't allow the price to be adjusted with the up/down arrows on the keyboard when selected.
     

  • New Zig Zag Oscillator Result Options. Five Zig Zag Oscillator result options were added including: Bars Since X Pivots Back, Volume Since X Pivots Back, Delta Since X Pivots Back, Volume Per Price Since X Pivots Back, and Delta Per Price Since X Pivots Back. These results accumulate data (volume, delta, number of bars) from a user-specified number of pivots back to the present, and in some cases, divides that result by the price change since that pivot.
     

  • New Layered Periodicities: Three Line Break, Point and Figure, Heiken Ashi, Average Bars. A new check box option was added to the Instrument window titled "Layer" which enables new periodicity options: Three Line Break, Point and Figure, Heiken Ashi, and Average Bars. These periodicities are unique in that they all build upon another underlying set of bars of any existing periodicity. For example, a 5-minute Point and Figure would operate on the closing prices of the 5-minute bars instead of inspecting every tick. A daily Three Line Break will process and consider only the closing prices of each daily bar. For these options, the underlying periodicity will be loaded and present invisibly in the chart. The Point and Figure bars should be drawn with a Point and Figure style. The Three Line Break charts can be draw either as candlesticks or as Wickless Candles to provide the classic presentation. The Point and Figure option that has been available for some time processes and considers every tick while this new layered option processes only the closing prices of the user-specified underlying periodicity. The Heiken Ashi and Average Bars use an averaging technique to average out the current bars with previous information. The Heiken Ashi uses a two-bar averaging technique while the Moving Bars allows the to specify the number of bars averaged. For example, if a user specified a 5-bar Average Bar of 1-minute data, the result would moving 5-minute bars, with each bar representing a moving window into the past 5-minutes. And two consecutive bars would actually share 4 minutes of information. Be on the lookout in our video library for videos providing more details on these new layered periodicities.
     

  • Aligned With Master- Matching Parent. A checkbox titled "Align With Master" has been added to the Instrument window. This option will line up a secondary instrument with the timestamps of the master instrument. In the past, this has been impossible with any periodicity that was not time-based, e.g. Range Bars, Volume Bars, Tick bars, etc. Now, a user can plot a Range Bar of some master instrument and plot bars of one or more secondary instruments below that line up with (match) the time period spanned by the bars of the master instrument. Within each bar of the secondary instrument will reside the trades that transpired during the same period as the master instrument. When the periodicity of the master instrument is adjusted, the secondary instrument will continue to align with the data of the master. This has many potential uses including the ability to plot a statistic or index such as TICK or TRIN in a secondary pane below a master futures instrument, aligned with the data of the master. The "Align With Master" option will only be available in the Instrument dialog when adding a second instrument to a chart. To add an instrument to a chart, use the top left button on the chart toolbar.
     

  • Export Trading Notes. Within the trading notes window you can export all of the trading notes for a symbol by selecting that symbol and choosing File: Save: Save As Export. If the Trading Notes window is the front window and you hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while choosing File: Save As Text, Investor/RT will export all trading notes for all symbols. You may also export all trading notes using File: Export: Trading Notes with no need to open the trading notes window. The resulting export file is shown after export is complete. This feature may be useful for example if you use Investor/RT on more than one machine and you wish to export all notes from one machine and import them using Investor/RT on the other machine. Use File: Import: Definition File to import the trading notes.
     

  • Floating Window Positioning Improvement. For users with multiple monitors on MS Windows, Investor/RT is designed to work best when the main Investor/RT task window is maximized on one of the monitors and screen real estate on other monitors is used to float Investor/RT charts, quotepages and other windows. Investor/RT works best when the main Investor/RT task window is kept at a fixed position and size. The reason for this is that all floating windows reside at positions (on other monitors usually) relative to the position of the upper left corner of the task window. Moving, resizing, repositioning the screen location of the main Investor/RT task window can cause ill side-effects when floating windows are opened since floating windows will now be positioned at the same relative offset from the new task window location. In extreme cases, this can lead to a floating window being positioned at a location "off screen" making it invisible to the user. The Window/Bring to Front menu item (with Ctrl key down) was the only way to bring such windows back to the main screen in Version 10.4.x and earlier. Version 10.5 solves this problem by determining when opening floating windows, whether the saved offset from the task window would cause the window to be moved off screen. If so, the window is automatically repositioned to a default location centered on the main task window to ensure it remains visible. You can then drag the window(s) to other monitors and position them as desired; there is no longer a need to use the Bring to Front menu to retrieve off screen windows. Note that this anomaly situation occurs if you reposition the upper left corner of the main task window. In some cases, adjusting the multiple monitor setup by adding or removing monitors can also manifest these off screen side effects. Regardless, floating windows will now remain visible when such adjustments are made.
     

  • Multi-Link Chart Scrolling and Time Synchronization
    Overview. Investor/RT has long had the ability to Multi-Link two or more charts so that a change of symbol in one chart is propagated to one or more linked charts. The linkage of charts is accomplished by specifying the same Multi-Link color for some group of charts. The Multi-Link color for a chart is shown in the lower right corner of the chart. Clicking on this colored rectangle displays a menu for selecting a Multi-Link color for the chart. By convention, charts set to black are locked; they do not participate in any Multi-Link operations. Charts set to white Multi-Link color participate is all Multi-Link operations. When there is a Multi-Link change of symbol in a chart designated red, for example, the same symbol will be propagated to all other red charts plus any white coded charts.

    Introducing Synchronized Scrolling. Version 10.5 introduces the capability to scroll and time sync charts in tandem using the same Multi-Linking method, i.e. scrolling a red chart to a certain date time can cause Multi-Linked charts to scroll to the same date time. This feature has been implemented for multi-paned charts. The Multi-Linked charts can contain the same or different symbols and the charts can be of any mix of periodicities. Scrolling performed using a subject chart will cause the related Multi-Linked charts to scroll so that the time of the last displayed bar at the right side of each chart matches as closely as possible.

    How to Enable Synchronized Scrolling. To enable these features, setup a group of charts with the same Multi-Link color, e.g. red. When you click the Multi-Link color button at the lower right corner of a chart, you will see menu items named Multi-Link Scrolling and Multi-Link Time Sync. These Multi-Link menu items will display a check mark when enabled for the chart. Choose either menu item to toggle the check mark on/off. The Multi-Link color rectangle itself will show the letter S when Multi-Link Scrolling is enabled for the chart or the letter T when Multi-Link Time Sync is enabled. Thus you can see at a glance which charts have the same Multi-Link color and which of them are enabled for Multi-Link scrolling or time syncing. Then perform scrolling operations on any enabled chart; observe how the related enabled charts scroll to the same date time ending period. Using the Chart Highlighter, point the mouse at the last bar of the subject chart and observe the corresponding bar(s) in the related charts. To turn on the Chart Highlighter, right-click in the main toolbar and check mark the Chart Highlighter menu item. Say you have a 15-minute, 5-minute and 1-minute chart setup for Multi-Link scrolling. Scroll the 15-minute chart to a specific ending time and then use the Chart Highlighter to highlight the last (rightmost) 15-minute bar; the corresponding three 5-minute bars and fifteen 1-min bars will highlight at the right side of the related charts.

    Contrast Time Sync with Scrolling. Multi-Link Time Sync works in the same fashion as the Multi-Link Scrolling feature described in the paragraph above, but synchronizes not only the ending date/time of the chart but the visible time range of the data. The user may scroll, zoom, or resize one time-synced chart and any Multi-Linked chart with time-sync turned on will update to show the data for the same visible start and ending dates. This functionality can be useful for synchronizing several charts of differing periodicities with the same symbol, or several charts of matching periodicities containing different symbols.

    The key difference between Multi-Link Scrolling and Multi-Link Time Sync is that Multi-Link Scrolling does not alter the spacing of the bars in any of the linked charts; as scrolling occurs it positions the visible data of each chart so that the last bar at the right side of each chart is approximately the same time. In contrast, Multi-Link Time Sync alters bar spacing as needed to fit the periodic data so that both the visible starting and ending bars span roughly the same period of time. Multi-Link Time Sync also ensures that as you use the mouse wheel or arrow keys to adjust the bar spacing in any linked chart, that the new time range of that chart is reflected in the linked chart. The same goes for resizing of chart windows that are setup for Time Sync. Note that for any chart either one or the other (or neither) of these Multi-Link synchronization modes can be in effect at a time. When you turn on Multi-Link Scrolling, Time Sync is turned off; when you turn on Time Sync, Multi-Link Scrolling is turned off.

    Quickly Enabling Multi-Link Scrolling or Time Sync for a Group of Charts. Using the Multi-Link color menu you can turn on/off the Scrolling and Time Sync options individually for each chart in the group. You could have six charts in a multi-link group, but only four of them with Multi-Link Scrolling on for example. Most often however, you will want to turn on/off these options for every chart in the group. This can be accomplished easily with a single menu selection: simply hold down the shift keywhile changing either of these options and the change will be made to all charts in the multi-link group. Choosing the menu item toggles that choice on/off; the depressed shift key tells Investor/RT to set all charts in the Multi-Link group to the same setting. When you use the shift key you will see all of the multi-link color buttons change their display at once, the letter T indicating that Time Sync is in effect, S indicating that Scrolling is in effect. When neither of these are in effect for a chart, the color button will display a plus sign as in former releases.

    Automatic Restoration of Chart Settings after Using Time Sync. As mentioned earlier, Multi-Link Time Sync makes adjustments to the bar spacing as needed to fit the appropriate bars into each chart in the group. When you turn off the Multi-Link Time Sync option for a chart (or all charts using the shift key), Investor/RT will restore each chart's bar spacing to the state it was in when Multi-Link Time Sync was enabled for the chart. In addtion. the chart will be automatically scrolled to present so that real-time updating in the price scale will resume.

    Synchronized Scrolling of Daily, Weekly, Monthly Charts. While these synchronized scrolling features will typically be most useful when applied to a mix of intraday charts, Multi-Link Scrolling of daily charts works as expected, positioning the related intraday charts to the same ending date as the daily chart. Similarly, you can Multi-Link scroll a group of daily, weekly, monthly charts so that scrolling any of them keeps the corresponding trading dates in view for all of them. Multi-Link Time Sync applies only to intraday charts (not daily, weekly, monthly). However it does work well (as does the Chart Highlighter) for N-Day, N-Week, ... charts built from intraday data, a new feature of 10.5. See item 4 in the What's New in 10.5 topic, "Multi-Session Intraday Periodicity" for details.
     

  • Developing VPOC Option for Profile Indicator. A check box has been added to the Profile Indicator titled "Developing VPOC". When enabled, the developing VPOC is plotted allowing the user to see how the VPOC changed from bar to bar as the profile formed. This option is available to all of the many flexible durations of the Profile Indicator including 30-minute profiles, daily profiles, or long-term composite profiles. The TPO Indicator has always made available the developing VPOC of daily profiles but this addition to the Profile Indicator is much more efficient and opens up this functionality to a much wider array of profile durations.
     

  • Current Price Label Updating During Closed Session. Multi-Pane charts provide an option to "Highlight Price In Scale" in the Options tab of each chart's preferences. This option draws the current price as highlighted text in the scale at the right. Prior to 10.5, the price updated only when the session of the chart was open. In version 10.5, the price will update even if the session of the chart is closed. This allows users to see price updating in a day session chart prior to session open, or after the session closes.
     

  • Miscellaneous 10.5 Fixes and Improvements
    -----------------------------------------
    When opening the Setup Instruments from a floating window, e.g. a chart, the Setup: Instruments window will now become a floating window so it appears above the requesting window. Note that checking the box titled "Floating Window" inside the Advanced section of the Setup: Instruments window will cause all Setup: Instrument to be opened as floating windows if desired.
    -----------------------------------------
    At startup Investor/RT deletes temporary files from the Admin folder. Backtesting reports are considered temporary files but these are now deleted only after they are 30 days old. A configuration variable can be used to keep backtesting reports for a longer time. Go to Setup: Preferences: Configuration and override the variable BacktestReportsDays to the number of retention days desired, e.g. set BacktestReportsDays=365 to keep the reports files around for year for future reference.
    -----------------------------------------
    You may now provide color/style/width of peak/valley lines in the setup for the Profile Indicator. This indicator is available only in the Market Profile editions of Investor/RT.
    -----------------------------------------
    A new result, "Delta Above/Below Close/Last Price", is available in the VPS (Volume Price Statistics) indicator. When added to a chart of full session periodicity (e.g. 405 minute, or 1425 minutes), this new result shows cumulative delta for each trading session.
    -----------------------------------------
    Transact/Infinity clients can do File: Open: Admin File and select the file named TransactContracts.txt to see a list of all futures and index symbols available to them. The format of this file has been improved to show the future type and the actual ticker symbol to enter into Investor/RT to track each contract or index, e.g.

    6A: 6AZ1
    6B: 6BZ1
    6C: 6CZ1
    6E: 6EZ1
    6J: 6JZ1
    6M: 6MZ1
    6N: 6NZ1
    6S: 6SZ1
    EMD: EMDZ1
    ES: ESZ1
    NQ: NQZ1
    -----------------------------------------
    Exported definitions of scans, trading signals and custom indicators will now include only the export of token setups for tokens that are actually referenced within the RTL formula syntax. If export of unreferenced tokens is desired, go to Setup: Preferences: Configuration and set:

    RTLExportUnreferencedTokens=true

    Note that you may eliminate unreferenced (unused) tokens from any RTL setup by right-clicking on a column heading in the token list on the right and choosing Remove Unused Tokens.
    -----------------------------------------
    Investor/RT has an extensive list of setup information for various types of futures contracts. See Setup: Preferences: Future Types to view/edit/add future types. When you add a new instrument (symbol) to Investor/RT with security type future, it is important that the software know the characteristics of that type of future, e.g. its trading hours, the display format (tick increment), the name of the future type, etc. When you use the Setup: Instruments window to add a new futures symbol, e.g. ESZ11, Investor/RT determines ES is the type and fills in various information automatically. If you enter a symbol for a type of future that is presently unknown to Investor/RT, the new future type is now setup automatically. When this occurs the first time for some new future type, the new future type setup will appear in a window to enable you to verify, revise and ok the new setup. The new future type name will include the words SETUP NEEDED. Replace this with the actual name of the future type. Investor/RT will setup the tick increment based on the display format you entered for the new futures contract symbol. We recommend that you determine and fill in the dollar value of this price move. Click OK to save any changes. You can edit the future type at a later time via Setup: Preferences: Future Types.
    -----------------------------------------
    When a reference line, setup to "Use Current Close" is placed in a pane that contains another indicator (and no instrument), the reference line will consider the current value of the indicator as the close. This enables reference lines to show the present indicator value across the full indicator pane for comparison with historical values of the indicator.
    -----------------------------------------
    The Object Editor has been improved to allow you to inspect the details of a chart (which instruments and indicators it contains) without actually opening the chart. This feature is designed as a diagnostic tool for inspecting a problematic chart in cases where opening the chart may cause an out-of-memory condition or some other fatal error exception. To inspect the setup details for a chart, call up the Object Editor from the Open menu; select Charts as the object type; select a chart name in the list; and click the View button while holding down both the SHIFT and CTRL keys. A report window will appear showing information about the selected chart: how many panes it has, what instruments and indicators reside in each pane, etc. Note that exporting the definition of a chart involves opening the chart internally. If exporting the chart definition is not possible, this chart inspector may be useful in diagnosing the problem.

    Sometimes exporting a chart definition was not possible in 10.4 and earlier because the export process opens the chart with historical data invisibly in order to export the setup information. This process has been improved in 10.5 so that charts are opened without loading any historical data into them. This enables many chart setups to be exported for diagnostic purposes that otherwise might have caused an out-of-memory error for example due to an incorrect or corrupted setup.

    The Send Email window (File: New: Email Message...Alt-M) has a button titled Insert Msg Log; clicking it will insert the text of the message log into the message body. This may be useful when sending the log to support to report a problem.

    Quotepages containing custom columns and only a single symbol were not calculating the custom columns while the quotepage is minimized. This has been corrected.
    -----------------------------------------
    The Import Current Data schedule action (See Setup: Schedules) has been extended to support scheduled imports of files containing definitional text. A use of this automation could be a regularly scheduled import of a defintion file containing trading notes listing the trades taken using some other trading platform.

    By default Investor/RT has long ignored trading holiday dates when charting overnight session instruments (typically futures contracts) because typically there is at least some trading perhaps in the early a.m. or late in the day of most trading holidays. Charting time interval periodicities without white space is often used around holidays so that all non-trading periods are simply not shown in the chart. You can elect to show the non-trading periods as white space or not by right-click in the chart and toggling Periodicity-->Whitespace on/off. This setting for overnight session instruments is a configuration variable (see Setup: Preferences: Configuration) with default value: NoHolidaysOvernightSessions=true;

    Version 10.5 offers a similar configuration variable: NoHolidaysDaySessions=false. This one defaults to false, meaning that any holiday date specified in the holidays (or myholidays) file is effectively removed from charts. This setting works well for day session instruments, e.g. equities assigned to the U.S. Stocks session 0, on holidays. International users may wish for example to set NoHolidaysDaySessions=true when charting day session instruments that continue trading on international markets on trading holiday dates that pertain only to the U.S. markets. Setting NoHolidaysDaySessions=true means that holiday dates will be present in intra-day charts whether there is data or not. Turning off whitespace will eliminate the non-trading periods from charts for instruments that are not trading, while allowing those instruments that are trading to properly show the market data for those days. Using this setting may be more convenient than assigning U.S. equities to one session and non-U.S. equities to another.

    In short, if you use the configuration settings...

    NoHolidaysOvernightSessions=true;
    NoHolidaysDaySessions=true;

    ...Investor/RT will ignore any holiday dates that may be specified in the holidays.txt file or the user override myholidays.txt file, for all sessions, all instruments. When charting intra-day time intervals with white space on, non-trading periods will appear as a gap of white space. To eliminate the whitespace and show all trading data continuously, turn off the whitespace in the periodicity setup. Note that time independent periodicities, e.g. range bars, change bars, volume bars etc. are inherently "no whitespace" periodicities. Fixed time interval periodicities can be rendered in the chart with our without whitespace indicating non-trading periods.
