Fixed in v0.8.1

• Downloading prices from Oanda for any length of time causes a fatal error. Clicking on the OK button of that error message and TS crashes. Not clicking on the OK button and TS continues just fine. This error was on Oanda's side. Updating to the fxClient-VB-VS2003-2006-09-07.zip release of the VB.Net API fixed the problem.
• Don't store weekend data from Oanda, unless there has been some price movement.
• Need to use the locale settings on the machine being used. There are a number of things which currently will not work properly unless the date and currency settings are set to "Western" settings (Swedish dates have caused problems).
• Charts - Price where %b would equal X does not take into account the X part, so it always charts where %b would equal zero (which is the same as the Lower Bollinger Line). The error was chart-specific, no problems with backtesting or auto-trading.
• Charts - Fixed Lower and Upper Bollinger Line indicators on chart. Again, there were no problems with backtesting or auto-trading.
• Timeout value on Version Check window is now used.
• Oanda's start of day is always 4AM GMT.
• Oanda - Handle "Order Canceled (BV:SL)" event.
• Mark All messages read - use better Update statement. Was v.slow when updating thousands of messages.
• Format all the result grids properly (column widths, etc).
