In addition, the new feed transmits 52 week high/low alerts, abnormal
volume and market performance high/low alerts when tracked issues reach
significant prices or trading volume reaches high levels. These appear
as messages in the I/RT main toolbar.
Each tick is identified by the exchange (market center) on which it
occurred. Add the data column "Exchange of Trade" to your
quote page to observe this. If you want to track trades on only a
specific exchange you can now do so with the DTN.IQ feed by
adjusting the "requested exchange" for the instrument in
Setup: Instruments. A requested exchange of COMP (composite) will cause
the instrument to update when a trade occurs on any exchange. If a
specific exchange is specified, only trades on that exchange will update
the instrument.
- Major Enhancement:

tokens have been added to the RTL language to enable scans and signals

- Point And Figure Chart
Enhancements
A scale was added to the right side of the Point and Figure
charts. This will enable the user to view the price scale closer
to the latest price action.
Several minor glitches were also fixed in Point and Figure charts,
including the drawing of charts with reversal criteria of 1. In
the past, these charts were drawing off the right side of the chart
under certain circumstances.
- Market Profile Chart:
Font Preferences
A font button was added to the Market Profile Chart preferences which
allows the user to specify the font to be used when forming the market
profile chart. This way, you can choose the font is most
appropriate for forming the proper shapes associated with Market
Profiles.
