New Release: v3.0.1 - The Stabilise-ening

So-called because all work and no play made Sharky a little bit crazy(ier).

Fixed are a whole slew of bugs present in the initial release. A few people in particular started to understand the full meaning of an "alpha release" :-) One guy told me about a bug so I directed him down a different path, only for there to be a bug there as well... It's kind of funny, as long as you're not him. But all the bugs reported to me by customers, plus more, are now fixed.

Here is the full list of changes:

Added in v3.0.1

  • New custom indicator - Chandelier Stops.
  • The ordering of fields in Gain Capital text files of historical prices changed. The change was that they moved the seemingly superfluous "D" (I know what it's for but I've never seen it not be "D") from the end of the line to the second field. Thanks guys. We added another option to choose from in the File Loader window.
  • Gain Capital now offers text files of historical prices for these spot commodities: XAU/AUD, XAU/CHF, XAU/EUR, XAU/GBP (also XAG/USD and XAU/USD, but we already included these).
  • ATM can be started via the command-line, with a few possible command-line arguments.
  • Once the settings file has finished loading, you can get ATM to run an executable or batch file of your choosing, passing it optional command-line arguments.
  • All documentation on this website is now up-to-date (except screenshots).

Fixed in v3.0.1

  • 400 - does not handle XAU/USD (Gold) properly
  • 405 - link on Price History tab of Options window does not go anywhere
  • 406 - checks for FXCM files in ATM installation directory
  • 407 - can delete a custom indicator even if it's being used
  • 408 - too many options in Indicator's corresponding column setting
  • 551 - date range is empty error when downloading from FXCM
  • 552 - MACD doesn't need a signal period
  • 553 - creating price bars is ridiculously slow
  • 554 - editing trading rule both fails and succeeds
  • 555 - creating price bars from other price bars doesn't work
  • 556 - number of bars required field not used
  • 557 - loading Gain Capital text files doesn't work
  • 558 - reverse the result option not being utilised
  • 559 - creating custom indicators
  • 560 - enter and exit at market
  • 561 - bunch of backtesting bugs
  • Other miscellaneous bug fixes.
