When testing auto-trading, I set it to output files just like it does when backtesting, so I could see what it's doing. But I forgot to turn this off when I released v0.9.0. So whenever auto-trading kicks off, it printed out 2 files for each trading system checked.

It no longer does this.

If you click "Admin" > "Options" from the main menu, you can see the location that the files will be in. The same as the backtesting output directory. Go to that directory using Windows Explorer, delete, and you're done.

Besides the initial release, this is by far and away the release with the most changes.

There's a couple of things you need to do, and to be aware of, if upgrading to v0.9.0.


Things You Need To Do

Oanda's start of day is at midnight GMT, but when creating interval data for Oanda it was setting the start of day to 4AM. You should re-create your data for the following intervals: 3-Hourly, 8-Hourly, 12-Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly. The other intervals will be correct.

There was a bug with the "Show NY" and "NY Is In DST" options. One value was being used for both. When you upgrade, you might have to set those options again. Also, whether or not you want to display NY, please keep its "Is In DST" field correct. It is used by other parts of the software - not just the world clock.

The way Accounts & Currencies are attached to trading systems has been changed. In fact you no longer attach one or more account and currency combinations.

Instead these are now just fields on the Trading Systems Update window, therefore only one account and currency per trading system. This was necessary for some of the other new features. Also it kind of makes more sense - you are unlikely to be using the same trading system for the same currency in different accounts, and you are unlikely to be trading different currencies using the same parameters for your trading system. If you do want to do either of those, just copy your trading system and change the account and/or currency field.


Things To Be Aware Of

Although I tested the following features during backtesting, I didn't get to doing much testing of them when auto-trading:

• The VFP money management option.
• The options on the No Trading tab.

If you come across any bugs, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about them.
