VTtrader 1.7.5 Build 2005081800 Release Notes
NEW FEATURES
* Chart Scale 1:1 option implemented; this allows the user to set the chart scaling so that 1 unit of price is equal to 1 unit of time; this feature is important in the proper use of Gann tools; user can set this option from Rulers tab of Chart Properties; this feature becomes temporarily disabled when "auto-size vertically" is enabled by user
* Code Completion feature implemented; can be found in Indicator Builder and Trading System Builder Formula Editor options screen; when enabled, it allows the user to press ctrl+spacebar to display a list of available functions to choose from in a dropdown menu while working in the Formula tab; contains rudimentary spell checking so if the user types "mo" and then ctrl+spacebar the Code Completion feature would display all functions beginning with "mo" such as mov(), month(), mod()
* Code Parameters feature implemented; can be found in Indicator Builder and Trading System Builder Formula Editor options screen; when enabled, it displays a "hint" in the formula tab while the user is typing the name of a built-in function. For example, if the user types "mov(" the Code Parameters hint window will display [DATA ARRAY,PERIODS,METHOD]; this allows the user to know what input types the function requires without having to find the function in the Paste Functions screen or Help Manual provided that the user is generally familiar with the function and VT programming language.
