RightEdge 1.2 Release Notes

• RightEdge now supports side-by-side installation of different versions.  You do not need to uninstall RightEdge 1.1 in order to install RightEdge 1.2.  The first time you run RightEdge 1.2, your settings will be copied over from RightEdge 1.1.  After that if you make a change to your settings in one version, it will not be reflected in the other.
• TWS Plugin replaced by non-ActiveX, native .NET based version.
• IBarDataRetrieval interface modified.  GetAvailableFrequencies method removed, redundant arguments to RetrieveData removed, and BarConstructionType parameter added to RetrieveData method.
• TWS Plugin supports BarConstructionType when retrieving historical data.
• You can now double click on an error in the data download window to see the full error (previously this only worked if the error was an exception).
• In the Symbol Information form, the "Build Prices From:" dropdown has been relabeled to "Construct Bars From:".
• Support for Rudimentary Automation
  RightEdge supports some basic automation using the command line.  You can now update historical data, open a project, start collecting live, run a simulation or start a live system all from the command line.  You can run RightEdge /? for details or refer to the documentation under the Automating RightEdge section in the RightEdge Environment chapter.
• Spike filtering on charts.  Right click on any chart to eliminate high or low spikes that have formed.
• Added hourly aggregation to the Breakdown System Results.
• The indexer has been removed from the ISeries interface, and a LookBack method and CurrentValue property have been added.
• Bar data is now provided as an RList<BarData> or BarList, which provide a CurrentValue property to get the current value, and a LookBack method to access previous values.
• Fixed an issue where weekly options may not get data using Interactive Brokers.
• Fixed a problem where thinly traded issues may throw an exception while saving live data using the Access data store.
• Added support to the Yahoo plugin to download weekly and monthly data natively.
• The Position.State enumeration has been renamed to PositionState
• The PositionOrder class has been renamed to PositionOptions.  The OrderSymbol property of this class has been renamed to Symbol, and the NumShares property has been renamed to Size.
• The BrokerTransactionType enumeration has been renamed to TransactionType.
• The GetPendingPositions(), GetOpenPositions(), etc. methods in PositionManager return IList<Position> instead of List<Position>.
• The PositionCollections property has been removed from the BaseSystemHistory class.
• The Order class has been renamed to BrokerOrder.
• The SubmitOrder() method in PositionManager takes an OrderOptions object instead now, and returns an Order object.  If the order cannot be submitted, the Error property of the returned Order will have error information.  If it was submitted, the Error property will be null.
• Added TargetPriceType enumeration for use with profit targets and stop losses.
• OrderFilledEventArgs has been changed to use the new Position class.  The PositionState property has been removed since it is now redundant.
• You can now submit an order for a pending position.
• The Price class has been modified to be immutable once it has been created.
• The PositionOrderUpdatedDelegate delegate has been removed, and the PositionManager.OrderUpdated event is now of type EventHandler<PositionOrderUpdatedEventArgs>.
• The PositionTimeOut property has been renamed to BarCountExit.
• Various methods have been removed: BarUtils.LookBack, SeriesUtil.GetCurrentValue, SeriesUtil.GetLastValidValue, SeriesUtil.LookBack, SystemUtils.TurnedUp, SystemUtils.TurnedDown, IndicatorManager.GetCurrentValue.
• BarUtils.BarIndexFromDate was renamed to BarUtils.BarLookBackFromDate, and now takes an RList<BarData> and returns a lookback index.
• Bugs were fixed in various indicators:
  • Aroon Up and Down - If the highest high or lowest low occurs twice, the indicator now uses the most recent occurrence instead of the oldest.
  • Average True Range - A bug related to how this indicator was initialized was fixed.
  • Chaikin Money Flow - The first value for this indicator was not being returned.
  • Chaikin Volatility - This indicator was returning values before it was fully initialized.
  • Consecutive - This indicator now correctly handles cases where the input data has no value.
  • Dynamic Motion Index - Modified indicator so that it will not return values before the 30th bar (otherwise it might return a value for one bar but not the next, since the period for the RSI used can vary between 3 and 30).
  • Envelope Lower and Envelope Upper - the formula was (price +/- (SMA * shift/100)), it has now been corrected to SMA * (1 +/- (shift / 100)).
  • Forecast Oscillator - This indicator was using a linear regression instead of a forecast for the next bar based on the linear regression.
  • Historical Volatility - This indicator was not including input data from the first n bars, where n is the period of the indicator.
  • Klinger Oscillator - A bug related to how this indicator was initialized was fixed.
  • Mass Index - Added a constructor argument for the period over which the sum is calculated.
  • Money Flow Index - Fixed a problem in the calculation when the money flow was the same two bars in a row
  • Negative and Positive Volume Index - The calculation was fixed and a constructor argument for the seed value was added.
  • On Balance Volume - Bug fixed that would occur if the close of the second bar was less than the close of the first, and when two closes in a row are the same.
  • Price Channel Lower and Upper - These indicators have been corrected to not use the value from the current bar in their calculation.
  • Qstick - The first value for this indicator was not being returned.
  • Relative Momentum Index - This indicator was not returning values for some of the early bars where it should have returned a valid value.
  • Stochastic Momentum Index - This indicator was using the midpoint instead of the distance to the midpoint for the initial value of the EMA used to smooth the numerator.
  • Stochastic Oscillator - This indicator has been modified so that its result is now multiplied by 100.
  • Stochastic Oscillator D - This indicator was not returning values for some of the early bars where it should have returned a valid value.
  • Tirone Levels Lower, Upper, and Center - These indicators were incorrectly using a value of zero for the lowest low.
  • Variable Moving Average - This indicator now always uses a 9-period Chande Momentum Oscillator.
  • Volume Oscillator - A parameter was added to optionally allow the indicator value to be a percentage.
  • Williams' Acc/Dist - The logic for whether to use the true range high or true range low was backwards.
• System Results plugins now display author and company name (if specified) in the Information dialog.
• Added the ability to save free form notes with a symbol (right click on the symbol).
• Fixed a volume problem when using QuoteTracker for real-time data.
• If the OpenTick plugin encountered an invalid symbol during download, it would give up on all symbols.  Now it will continue the download for all of the other symbols. 
• Lower Envelope was missing from the indicator list, it has been included.
• Output pane now automatically scrolls to the bottom most element.
• RightEdge can now remember the last open project and open it on the next program load (See Options dialog to enable this).
• Fixed some small grammatical errors in the Center of Gravity Oscillator and Forecast Oscillator help.
• Average Price was reclassified into the "Other" category from the "Trend" category.
• Several changes have been made to the data importer.
  • A default symbol name and frequency can now be specified on the first tab, instead of having to set up fields for each of these values in the fields tab.  In addition, there is a Details button that allows you to specify other symbol information (such as the asset type, tick size, strike price, etc.).  If you do not specify a default symbol name or a field in the file to use for the symbol name, the file name of the file being imported will be used.
  • RightEdge will attempt to auto-detect import settings for your data file.  This will happen when you add the first source file.  You can invoke the auto-detection at a later time with the Autodetect button.
  • Forex symbol names without a slash in them (ie "EURUSD" instead of "EUR/USD") will now be recognized correctly.
  • You can double-click on a file in the list of files to import to view it in the file view.
  • You can specify the decimal and thousands separators for numbers in the "Formats" tab of the importer.
