Looks as though things have move along.
Under ‘Help’ and ‘About’ we now have:
Last Update: 18 Mar 2024
And the log contains:
Version : v12.0.20240215030009
So far no memory/indicator calc issues this evening and the setup feels ‘snappy’, not sure how the automated traders are fairing but this feels like we’re maybe back to a stable setup. Perhaps this mornings FOMC etc dump will put it all to the sword ….. 4.20am local time here so might have an early start and see for myself … 🙂
Hope everyone’s fairing better after the past few weeks of gemlins.
28/03 not far off either, where all ‘manual’ trades are executed as ‘market’ orders by IG.

Every single time I open it, I cannot see the whole screen, I have to drag the top border down and then the scroll bar appears and then – if I drag the top border down further down more of the whole screen appears (well weird?) … but this is easier than always having to always scroll to see more!
Yep.
Immediately after this new “functionality” (3-4 months ago ?) I provided PRT a Technical Report with the very same complaint and proposal to solve it by means of sustaining the size I left behind last time.
I never heard anything about it but am reminding of it daily (with annoyance) because, well, I am reminded about it daily.I seriously wonder … what the heck is someone doing when he/she finally attacks the issue of the always so small window and next creates a solution where the window is too large which is even more odd and faulty on top of it (because of lacking vertical scrollbars).
Btw, the width always was a problem (always a tad too small) but is now even more of a problem when you enter text in the 2nd column which is a bit wide and which won’t wrap, so next the form is always way too wide. And a horizontal scrollbar really is not the solution for such a form (not workable).
GraHal, Grumpy … don’t bring me in that mood !

Even the optimiser Results Table needs the view / layout optimising in the settings that show the ticked and unticked variables. I’ve yet to find a useful way to use those ticked and unticked variables … anybody care to enlighten me?
That Result window does its stinkin’ best to NOT show the variables you like to see. It feels as upside down AI. … Nobody will understand its working, but once you know that it is as it is, it is 10 times better than it was previously. And improving …
The last improvement I saw was the auto-addition to teh result list (visible and all !) of new variables added to the Optimization Variables themselves. Or that they vanish from the result list when they vanish (done by you) from the Parameters.
The pain of course sits in the combination of a. already existing variables not showing (maybe this is caused by copying to a new System ?) and b. the seemingly random list they appear i the list to choose from (at using the wrench).What about the size of the Result window being maintained eh ? was asked for a 1000 times and now finally does that (since V12 I’d say). But it also remembers the side per instrument you are backtesting.
In general it saves a lot of time compared to how it was. What remains is that it should guess better which variables I want to see; something is dynamic in there, but it does not work out.
On a side note : I still work as much in V11 as in V12, but working (backtesting) in V11 is always a pain. You could say : own fault with over 40 variables, but … in V12 this is now great.No, net I can’t complain about this. This relates to : what’s to be done has to be done only very irregularly. Compare this with V11 and dragging columns you don’t need smaller and others wider, while from none of them you can see the content. And that each day (actually each PRT session) for each instrument.
