Dynamite Sentimentor Update History

• new version of Pats API

Did you know?
Fipertec released a successor of DySen named NanoTrader providing a multitude of improvements, e.g.:

• redesigned user interface
• the new Tactics feature for most flexible position management
• free execution of Express code even without the Express license
• Built-in Block/Flat sentimentors for most easy intraday blocking of signals
• an API for integrating Indicators implemented in languages such as C/C++
• NanoTrader is fully backward compatible with DySen

For more information please contact you broker or visit www.fipertec.com 

• new version of Pats API with improved margin calculation
• new Express sentimentor RocEMA
• defaults for stops widened
• "Save Template Study" selects "stub" as default

• Fibonacci-Levels can be defined and saved/reused as templates; click the "Define Fibonacci Levels" button of the Properties dialog that appears after drawing a Fibonacci tool
• Fibonacci-Levels can optionally display their price and percent level in the chart
• Alarm settings for Trendlines, i.e., notifications for upward/downward crossings, are saved in the studies and restored when they are loaded
• Xray/Yray settings are saved per study
• colors of P&F are now the same as for bar charts

Note: The format of the study files changes with this version. Please make a backup copy of your studies so you could easily downgrade to an earlier version if required. You find the studies in the "Dys" folder of the installation directory.

• new version of Pats API with improved connect/disconnect/reconnect handling
• ChartTrader is displayed in red when a connection loss occurs
• The policy for determining the confirmation price for studies with entry signals set to "Confirmation price next bar" is now the same in backtesting and AutoOrder mode.
• In a specific user interaction sequence the LiveTable did not display information for  YesterdayClose/Settle - this has been corrected.
• Corrected the zooming of embedded studies/charts that under some circumstances went out of sync with the MasterChart
• various internal improvements

• AutoOrder can only be activated if the study has not defined a Control Period for backtesting

• new indicator ATR:
  The ATR is an indicator which measures the size of a movement in ticks. As such it indicates not a direction, but the significance of a movement. Hence it can only be used as a Blocker (similar to the ADX) that accepts signals, given the movement is sufficiently strong, or rejects them otherwise.
  Therefore the ATR is very well suited for filtering signals in sideway ranges to avoid "signal flickering".

• chart dragging also enabled for symbols with many decimals such as EuroFX

• new version of Pats API with various internal improvements
• New Express Function "CalculateAtEveryTick(bool)"
  Call CalculateAtEveryTick(false) to disable the execution of an Express script for each incoming tick. The script will then be executed only at the end of a period. This helps tremendously to speed up very time consuming or poorly programmed Express sentimentors.

Zooming and Scaling of Charts reworked as follows

In the following "left dragging" means "holding the left mouse button pressed while moving the mouse and "right dragging" refers to "holding the right mouse button pressed while moving the mouse".

• When scrolling/zooming into the past the current selected price/Y-axis zoom settings remain unchanged. (In case the chart is outside the zoom area drag the price scale/Y-axis or doubleclick it to revert to auto zoom.)
• In case the current zoom does not display the final period and a new period begins then there is no automatic zoom anymore to include the new period. This mechanism is still available if activated explicitly through Extras|Options/Visualization "auto zoom at new period".
• these zooming and scaling features are available for all windows including the sentimentor windows

Standalone Views for Independent Viewing of a Chart Area
When pressing the Shift button while zooming in a chart a new window is created that shows exactly the content of the initial window but can be scrolled independently. This might be used to monitor a larger or simply different region of the original data, e.g., the MasterChart might display just the last 20 periods for precise order manipulation and a Standalone View targeted to the MasterChart shows the complete data.

Misc

• "High-Low Channel"-Sentimentor added
• "AutoBid/Ask" button in SpeedTrader show the same colors as the Bid/Ask columns

OCO entry Orders

DySen allows to declare an order as an OCO-Entry order by checking the checkbox in the Create Order dialog (OCO means One Cancels Other).
The typical usage would be to use two Stop orders and mark them as OCO. This allows to enter a market on a breakout or to trade news where you expect a huge movement without being able to predict the direction. In such a scenario two Stop orders marked as OCO would be used. As soon as one order receives a fill the other is cancelled immediately.

The OCO mechanism works for any kind of order thus allowing two limit orders to be marked as OCO; this would allow to trade rebounds within a sideway market.

No matter what type an OCO order has or how many OCO orders exist as soon as one OCO order receives a fill (partial or complete) all other OCO orders are cancelled.

If an order is placed through the SpeedTrader or ChartTrader while having the Ctrl-key pressed then that order will be marked as OCO.

The OCO flag can be modifed through the "Modify Order" dialog at any time.

The horizontal line used to visualize an OCO order in a MasterChart can be configured (default is blue).

Note: In order to protect an existing position the bracket order mechanism provided by the TradeGuard should be used as it handles partial fills and position increases fully automatically.

Note: The OCO mechanism is implemented by DySen and handled through your PC; it is not handled natively by the exchanges. Hence, if the market is very volatile and/or the OCO orders are placed very near to each other then there is a chance that multiple OCO orders are getting filled as the cancel requests might arrive too late at the exchanges. 

Misc

• SuperTrend indicator added
• time axis context menu for tick charts allows to drop data except the last 2500 ticks; this helps reducing performance requirements when dealing with active contracts

• improved drawing tool handling (tools can be moved from everywhere, not just the resize corners)
• horizontal lines indicate activated alarm for crossing with displaying an arrow
• contextmenu for pure drawing tools allows to duplicate the selected tool
• "Copy to Clipboard" added to MasterChart legend, hence it is also available in charts being detached from the main window
• new statistical number "Expectation"

Express Enhancements:

• new function "PointValue()" 
• new function "TickValue()"
• Express sentimentor "NewsWarner" that displays a warning based on a time being configured in the DesignerDialog.

A couple of internal enhancements.

• adaptations for reflecting the CME/CBOT merger
• horizontal lines display their associated text, e.g., "Last Day High"
• doubleclick into the price scale of the MasterChart deactivates the fixed zoom sliders, i.e., it converts back to auto zoom
• Statusbar information extended by displaying the high-low range of the bar pointed to by the mouse in ticks
• Express sentimentor "LargeMoveWatcher" to notify of  a large move in a contract

• The ColorManager now allows to save and load color schemes. Two schemes (Dark, Light) are part of the distribution.
• AutoBid/Ask-Sliders in chart are drawn in a special color and cannot be slided
• The width of plotted indicators is by default set to 2 pixel. This default can be changed via "Extras|Options/Visualizations Settings"
• Support for Hong Kong Exchange with historical data from Fides

• new function "NumericToTime()"
• new function "SetTargetPrice()". This allows a Stop Sentimentor to work as a profit target using an express computed price.
• series access now allows expressions, e.g., close[CurrentBarIndex() - $span]

• The SpeedTrader contains two new buttons "Auto Bid" and "Auto Ask" which respectively place a limit buy/sell order at the best bid/ask when clicked. In case the best bid/ask prices change prior to the order being executed then the order is automatically modified to reflect the new best bid/ask.
  Once placed the order cannot be modified manually. By rightclicking on it in the SpeedTrader or the MasterChart it can be cancelled.
  The display color of Auto Bid/Ask orders in the SpeedTrader can be adjusted in the ColorManager.
  Note that in simulation environments, e.g. PaperTrading or dedicated simulation backends, it could happen that the prices of a Auto Bid/Ask order are relaxed because the simulator did not assign a fill. If such an order is placed at the exchange and thus becomes part of the real order book the limit prices can only rise for Auto Bid orders and fall for Auto Ask orders.
• The average traded price is now always displayed in the MasterChart of the study attached to a position in an account, i.e., the study does not need to be activated in order to show the average traded price.
• Improved internal handling for large tick based studies 
• Stochastic sentimentor now also works  for Yen futures

• new version of Pats API for improved margin and buying power calculation
• adapated the calculation for the opening of Heikin Ashi-candles

• integrated the latest Pats API
  Note: The password for connecting to the Pats infrastructure is now case sensitive!
  
• The Pats connection settings contain a field "Your local Currency" that can be populated with a local currency setting. The effect is that the values "BPow", "P/L", and "Cum. P/L" being displayed below the list of account positions are converted into that currency.
  The conversion rate used is provided by the provider of the Pats infrastructure.
  The "Currency" field can be edited by choosing "Extras | Data Sources /<your pats connection>" from the main menu and then "Edit Connection Settings".

• improved handling if a study is attached to symbols residing in muliple accounts
• automatic zooming improved in backtesting mode
• some internal enhancements

The most effective way for a trader to train a new trading technique or a new market is by way of having live data of this market in conjunction with a PaperTrading feature. However, it can get extremely time consuming to really get confident with the various characteristics of a market – simply because they will probably enfold over multiple trading days, if not weeks.

Also, in a training environment such as seminars it is extremely helpful to have real data at hand representing special market conditions such as mini crashes, reactions to announcements of economic data etc.

The OneClick Recording and Playback feature of DySen addresses these needs. It allows to easily convert price data into a Recording that can be used as a Playback thereby giving the trader the live experience of receiving the data.

At a glance OneClick Recording and Playback provides the following functionalities:

• Convert a zoom in a MasterChart into a Recording with the click of a button
• Convert the last trading session of a tradable security into a Recording. This allows to train on that data without having seen the chart before.
• Use Live Recording for capturing the trades and the orderbook.

The Playback allows you to receive the data in realtime or in any acceleration you choose. It also allows to Pause or move forward stepwise for a most detailed examination of the market.

Click here for a full documentation of the new "OneClick Recording and PlayBack functionality".

Misc:

• "Williams %R"  sentimentor added
• improved support for Fides historical data for time zones that do not apply daylight savings

• vertical zoom of Point & Figure sentimentor corrected

• Changes of the order type in the "Create Order" dialog maintain the "Time in Force" settings if possible.
  

• Improved handling in case of a limit breach (i.e., placing more orders than the personal buying power and risk settings allow for)

Support for Multiple Stops  and Profit Targets  is a powerful new DySen functionality that supports the trader in setting up multiple levels for exiting a position. A synonym for this functionality is Fade Out.

Most often a trader uses Multiple Stops and Profit Targets to lock in an intermediate profit without closing the complete position, e.g., when the intended price level is reached but the trade continues to move in the right direction. Once having secured an initial profit that ideally also covers the overall commissions of a trade, the remainder of the trade is a kind of “free lunch”, assuming that the stops are adjusted properly.

DySen  provides you the following functionalities:

• define as many Profit Targets and Stops as desired
• assign the volume carried by each target/stop individually
• rely on the built-in targets and stops, use manually drawn lines as stops, or program your own using DySen-Express
• DySen takes care of the management of all targets and stops by placing, amending, or canceling the corresponding orders as needed
• Let your study amend the price levels of the targets and stops automatically or use Click Stops to adjust them directly in the chart
• DySen displays all information of the Profit Targets and Stops directly in the MasterChart and indicates the trajectory of the tightest target/stop in each period.
• switch to “tightest price” mode for using just one stop or target reflecting the tightest stop or target price
• DySen takes care of overfills

Click here to read a detailed description for using Multiple Stops and Profit Targets.

Misc: 

• Average Price of the current position is shown in the price sacle - this allows for easy adjustment of the ClickStops into the profitable region
• Disabled Stops are greyed in the DesignerDialog
• Heikin Ashi-Sentimentor added
• The installation directory contains the file "Start with Empty Start Page.bat". Executing that file defines DySen to start with an empty page.
• The Basic version of WHS FutureStation now allows an unlimited number of charts to be displayed

AccountBar:

• An AccountBar now contains a toolbar for one click access to the most frequently used functions (e.g., activate TradeGuard, Order Defaults, Show Fills, etc.)
• If for a symbol in the AccountBar that has no study assigned to it the icon "Show Charts" is hit then automatically the default TradeGuard study is assigned to that symbol and opened.
• Changed default column layout for new accounts.

Trading from the Charts:
A MasterChart being attached to a traded symbol in an account has the following new functionalities:

• Display of the current position size and P/L next to the legend
• An "Exit" button above the ChartTrader that works exactly as the "Exit" from the the AccountBar 
• A menu button to activate or deactivate the various auto order states similiar to clicking into the "Study State" cell in the AccountBar

Charting:

• New drawing tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, Arc, Text).
• Aggregation "Minutes/dyn." has been replaced by "Seconds".
• Added "30 Seconds" as default aggregation in toolbar main menu.
• Added entry to default aggregations menu to open the DesignerDialog.
• When having a fixed price axis slider and scrolling into the past horizontal lines and price boxes are
  drawn to indicate the fixed price levels.
  This allows to have the benefits of auto-zooming the chart while having a visual reference to the fixed price levels.
• Tipp concerning drawing tools when logarithmic scaling is activated.

Designer Dialog:

• A hint is displayed whenever the charting aggregation is not a multiple of the data loaded from the server, e.g., loaded 10-Minute aggregation from the server but selecting 13 Minute aggregation in the DesignerDialog.
  Also the Aggregation field turns red.
  (Note that for discretionary traders it makes perfect sense to load, say, hourly data for the last 30 days and to aggregate the live data in, say, 3 minutes periods. This gives a condensed view of the past while showing the presence in high resolution.)
• New button in DesignerDialog for specifying the historical data to be loaded.
• Save Icon in toolbar.

MainWindow:

• Toolbar icons reordered. New icons for "MarketProfile", "Show Fills".
  Functionality of removed icons is still available through the menu.
• "Filter" entry in in WorkspaceBar renamed to "Timed Exits & Filters" and moved to top level
• ordering in the ColorManager changed

Misc:

• support for RINA PortfolioStream 6.0 (requires special permissioning)

Historical Data:

• incorporates the improved data distribution technology of Fides

• After using "Save As Template Study" the saved study will be assigned the name of the template study.
• The OrderDefaults dialog for contracts traded via pats now allows to save the settings as default for that family of contracts, i.e. when a contract with a new expiration date is added to the system the default settings are automatically assigned to that new contract.
• AutoLayout is now always in "Free Placement" mode or "Filter" mode. Clicking one of the layout buttons from the toolbar now reverts to Free Placement after rearranging the windows inside the main screen.
• PageMenu now also opens when pressing the corresponding picture button (not just when pressing the drop down arrow)
• When activating "AutoOrder" in an account a new hint is displayed.
• When choosing Renko aggregation without having loaded tick data a hint is displayed.
• LiveEvaluation mode adapted for handling special cases with Renko aggregation

• a couple of internal enhancements

• Improved historical data supply from Fides
• long lasting filled GTC orders no longer filtered in completed orders

• ability to change the display row of a symbol in the account window by drag & drop
• The OrderDefaults Dialog allows to specify volume limits for enforcing a confirmation and an order rejection (“Fat Finger Limits”).
  The limits are only checked for manually placed orders. Reverse and Exit orders are not checked against the limits.
• Implied Prices as provided by some exchanges supported in Account dialog (enable through context menu) and SpeedTrader (enable through new icon)

• Save icon for saving studies in main window's toolbar
• Workaround for Cancellation problem for orders that already expired at the exchange

• Time In Force fields for working orders are disabled in Order Modification dialog
• ADX and Volume cannot be aggregated any more

Cascading Studies is a powerful new DySen module that brings true intermarket analysis combined with multiple time frame analysis to the trader’s desk. With the click of a mouse embed an existing study for, say, the Dax-Future, into a study for, say, the Eurostox-Future. Now the outcome of the Eurostox analysis is taken into account for trading the Dax.

DySen allows unlimited flexibility when combining studies:

• Embed as many studies as you want into one (container)-study.
• The embedded studies can use any aggregation. So for example a longer-term trend study can be used as a filter for a short term swing strategy. Even non time-based aggregations like Renko or Point & Figure can be applied.
• An embedded study may contain embedded studies itself which allows for a complete hierarchy of cascading embedded studies.
• The complete range of backtesting and optimization tools is available for cascading studies. So taking the example from above, an optimization of the Dax study can also optimize the embedded Eurostox study.
• An embedded study behaves just like a “normal” sentimentor, so it can also be used as a Stop or as a Filter.

Among the possible applications of the Cascading Studies module are the following:

• Quite often a given symbol A follows in its direction another symbol B. So by trading A as soon as B emits a signal gives the trader the opportunity to trade as early as possible, even before A itself generates a technical signal.
• A study can embed other studies based on the same symbol but applying a different time frame. This Multiple Time Frame analysis allows to trade if there is the same signal in, say, the daily-based study, the hourly-based study, and the 1-minute study.
• Compute your own external sentiments and embed them into a DySen study using DDE.
• Embed a number of studies for shares for trading a corresponding index future.

The following screenshot shows an example where the outcome of a FDAX study is used for trading the FESX:

The next screenshot shows an example for embedding price charts:

The Cascading Studies module is available for non-basic versions of DySen.

• Symbols from Pats as well as CompoundSymbols can be used in script processing 
• Forced confirmation messages to be centered at floating MasterCharts
• Fixed a problem when trying to access a study relies on an expired symbol

• MasterCharts can be detached from the application's main window to be positioned freely on additional monitors. To do so right click on the legend of the MasterChart and select "Detach from Main Window":
  
  
  A floating MasterChart possesses its own InfoBar that can be opened through the Toolbar of the MasterChart.
• Drawn horizontal lines will not disappear even if after changing the aggregation the start end endpoints fall into the same period.
• Express interpretation schemes might now use the same input variable multiple times
• Fixed a problem in the Express Editor when doubleclicking on the commentary double slash

• When opening a template study through the Designer-Dialog also a "stub"-template study can be chosen.
• The Express function Highlight() clips drawings only at the price scale/ChartTrader
• Reports show the Exit reasons

• SpeedTrader uses a specific colour for orders while their status is “Modify Pending
• When evaluating “Manual Filters” DySen  applies the filter to all periods where the end of the period is covered by the filter.
• Orderbook histogram in Charts only displayed if activated in the SpeedTrader’s toolbar.
• Charts with Tick aggregation use the time format HH:MM:SS if less than two hours are displayed in the chosen zoom.
• In case the levels of a Fibonacci drawing tool overlap with an activated ChartTrader mouse clicks will be directed to the ChartTrader.
• New functionality "MarketProfile".
  The MarketProfile displays the traded volume per price for a given interval. Thereby it distinguishes between volume that was traded in bull periods (open < high) and bear periods (open > high). All volume of a period is distributed evenly over the prices covered by that period. The bull volume gets the lighter colour (see below), the bear volume the darker colour. The colours can be configured in the ColourManager.
  To activate the MarketProfile for a given chart, right click on the chart's legend:
  
  
  
  To change the MarketProfile's settings rightclick on the MarketProfile's legend entry:
  
  
  
• Option to download long tick histories for selected contracts. To select histories for download rightclick on the "FidesHistory" entry in the WorksapceBar.
  Note: Working with these files requires a huge PC memory. Note also that charting of potentially millions of ticks might slow down DySen significantly. Therefore make sure to either zoom to an appropriate time span or aggregate the MasterChart.
• Accelerated the drawing of huge charts considerably
• Decreased the memory usage specifically for versions without the module "TradingSystem"
  

Additions to the Express programming language:

• new fundamental data type "Array"

• The message box for Express error messages is always on top of all windows.
• In case an Express program produced an error, e.g., “Division by zero”, that message is only shown once. The Express sentimentor will be deactivated. This state is displayed in the legend of the Express sentimentor in the chart.
• Upgraded to the latest Patsystems client API version

• Charts display the message "TradingTime Filter active" in case the incoming ticks are filtered by the TradingTime Filter as defined for the charted symbol 
• TradeMaster does not show the account when being added to a TradeMaster definition

• Support for entering positions with Limit/Stop orders when trading studies in AutoOrder mode. (See updated DirectTrade documentation; Section 6.8.4)
• new mode that allows an AutoOrder study to be combined with ClickStops, Trendline-Stops, and Tick-by-Tick Trailing stop  (See updated DirectTrade documentation; Section 6.8.4)
• completed orders can be sorted by clicking on the column headers. The 'TimeSent' is used as a secondary sorting criterion. New completed orders will be added at the bottom of the list.
• list of positions in account window can be sorted
• Disclaimer for auto ordering only shown once per session

• Right-clicking on the "Tradable Securities" entry in the WorkspaceBar provides access to a dialog that allows to associate a symbol used to retrieve historical data to a tradable symbol.
• Drag & Dropping an account onto the initial TradeMaster line assigns the account to all legs and unlocks the trading of the spread
• TradeMaster supports Limit and Market orders for covering. Cover orders have a special color in the SpeedTrader and WorkingOrder panels. (See updated TradeMaster documentation.)
• Important: The SpeedTrader now gets the initial "Order Volume" to be used for creating orders from the OrderDefaults settings. Please double check the order defaults before placing trades through the SpeedTrader.
• Slow Stochastic shows two lines
• new Express-Function "ExpMovingAverage()" in addition to calling MovingAverage() with a negative parameter

• ADX-sentimentor now also available if the module "TradingSystem" is not licensed
• ModifyOrder dialog gets the focus if a dragging operation of a working order in the SpeedTrader is completed
• bracket orders are shown in a special colour in the SpeedTrader

• Scrolling with the left/right arrows of the chart scrollbars now always scrolls exactly one bar (unless there are multiple ticks having an identical time stamp).

• Messsages broadcasted by a broker are displayed within specific message boxes
• Improved the scrollbar handling of the charts when working with very large data series.

• New option in context menu of the EquityChart's legend "Start with 0 equity each day". When activated, the equity of a new trading day starts with 0 and thus the intraday developments of a system can be analyzed more easily.
• New sentimentor "ReentryFilter". This sentimentor blocks a reentry in the same direction as the previous trade unless a minimum number of periods,has elapsed or the next trading day started. 
• New Express function "TickSize()" that returns the ticksize as a float number of the traded security
• The Options-Dialog (main menu "Extras|Options") now provides settings for managing the caching of loaded but not visualized data. If your PC is low on memory change the default setting to a lower value. This will result in more frequent reloading of data when switching between symbols, but will consume less memory. To release non-visualized data use the "Release data now" button, e.g., if a large series of tick data has been loaded that is not required any more, it can be released this way.
• The TradeMaster documentation is available through the Help-menu.

• New module "Compound Symbols": This module allows to define new symbols by applying an arbitrary mathematical expression on exsiting symbols, e.g., (5 * fdax - 4 * estx) * EuroDollar + 100.
  Once defined those symbols can be used just like every other symbol in DySen for charting and analysis.
  This module requires a seperate licence.
• New module "TradeMaster": The TradeMaster allows to trade arbitrarily structured financial products such as spreads, spreads of spreads, baskets, CTA-trading etc.
  For more details see http://www.fipertec.com/TradeMaster.html or
  http://www.fipertec.com/download/DySen_TradeMaster.pdf
  This module requires a seperate licence.
• The Equity-Window now is shown as a subchart of the MasterChart by default.

• The "Cum. P/L" column for the papertrading accounts are now activated.
• PaperTrading simulates partial fills for position sizes larger than 10
• New menu entry in the context menu of a MasterChart's legend: "Remove all drawing tools". This will remove all drawings tools from all views including stop-and sentimentor drawings.
• Multiple orders on the same price level in a SpeedTrader are drawn independently

• Renko aggregation in MasterChart takes special care for floating point issues

• Pats-Accounts now show the "Cash Buyingpower Remaining", given the clearer provides the necessary information.
• The account notification settings now allow to enable the display of a message box corresponding to the
• Renko aggregation for the MasterChart has been reworked as follows:

• each "brick" now provides open/close/high/low data independently of the bricks visualization
• in case a gap brick is created it receives the data of the next "real" brick
• gaps at the beginning of a new trading session are not suppressed any more, hence allowing indicators to "calm" a bit on the gap bricks
• due to this changes the evaluation of signals are always based on tradable prices and hence are accurate
• the color of gap bricks can be defined in the ColorManager
• the attached Express sentimentor  allows to visualize the open/close/high/low data as aggregated and emitted by the Renko master aggregation.

• The final step of the SystemTester is now considerably faster
• In case the MetaSentimentor is not allowed to close or turn positions (an option of  the Evaluator dialog) a respective message is shown in the MetaSentimentor chart.

• Renko-Aggregation now enforces multiples of the underlying symbol's tick size

• "Study Save As" dialog simplified 
• corrected a delay of the P/L update in the SpeedTrader that occured when applying an unusual activation sequence

• The new ChartTrader is a grid similar to the SpeedTrader that is displayed directly in the MasterChart.
  
  
  The ChartTrader requires a SpeedTrader to be activated in the given chart. The columns of the ChartTrader behave exactly like those of the SpeedTrader, i.e., left/right clicking in a cell creates the corresponding Limit/Market/Stop orders. 
  The ChartTrader is placed in the "extension place" of a chart. To extend that size, go to Extras|Options/Visualization and choose at least "15%". If the availbale place is too small, the ChartTrader is automatically hidden or not displayed to avoid unintended order placement.
  For a complete documentation see the updated DySen DirectTrade manual from the Help menu.
• Trendchannels now support a fill color that is applied with alpha blending effects.
  
• The Volume sentimentor is now available for all DySen licence combinations

A red arrow means "AutoSort" activated, a white arrow means no autosort. Clicking again on the same heading reverses the sorting.
• Standalone SpeedTrader/DetailBars/T&S-Bars and charts can now be connected with up to five different color coded "symbol links". The window link can be selected in their respective title bars (the button with the two rings).
  
  Whenever a symbol changes, either through drag and drop or manually entering a symbol, the new symbol is applied also to all linked windows (as if the symbol was dropped independently on all these windows).
  Thus, it is now easy to have, say, two charts for one symbol, a SpeedTrader, a DetailsBar, all connected through a link, and then to retarget their content to a new symbol by just dropping the new symbol into one of these windows.
  The colors can be adjujsted in the ColorManager ("Symbol Link 1",...).
• All bars except the WorkspaceBar and InfoBar show a new entry in their context menu "Dockable to other windows".
  If this is unchecked, the bar is undocked and will not dock to the main window or to other bars.
• When loading an account or a LiveTable from the WorkspaceBar while holding the SHIFT key pressed, the bar will be automatically undocked. The same is true for launching a SpeedTrader, DetailsBar, NewsBar, T&SBar - pressing the SHIFT key creates the bar undocked. The docking state is also saved in the Pages.
• New Sentimentor Parabolic SAR
• New drawing tool "TrendChannel" with the following characteristics:
  • when used as LongStop the lower line provides the stop levels; the upper line is taken when used as ShortStop
  • when used as sentimentor it might happen that the zones of both lines overlap. By definition, the "constructing" line (indicated by the small vertical line as also used for trendlines) takes precedence over the other line 
• The screen position of the OrderCreation dialog per account positions is now persistently saved in the account files.
• Stop-Trendlines for End-of-Day studies now emit a stop price (not sentiments)
• When dragging a Bar DySen now displays the potential docking positions with markers. Simply drag the the mouse on a marker and the resulting docking area will be visualized. When releasing the mouse, the Bar is positioned accordingly.
• When opening a SpeedTrader through the WorkspaceBar and exactly one acount is opened then the SpeedTrader  automatically connects  to  that account.
• New studies/template studies can be assigned to symbols in accounts and LiveTables through their context menu.
• The title for all bars has been reversed, e.g., now it says "FDAX - SpeedTrader". This enhances the readability in tabbed bars.
• All bars as well as charts now support manual symbol entry. Simply start typing (or press the space bar) to pop up the ChooeSymbol dialog (DySen FIDES Trader only)
• The "Fides"-context menu in the WorkspaceBar now contains an entry "Symbol Search" for searching in the thousands of symbols provided by Fides (DySen FIDES Trader only)
• The policy for exchanging a study by dropping a symbol into a chart has been changed as follows:
  Given the displayed study in the chart has the name "Trend". When dropping a symbol into this chart, DySen checks if there exists already a study "Trend" for the new symbol. If so, this study is loaded and placed as good as possible at the screen location of the current study. Otherwise, a study "Trend" is created for the new symbol.
• Menu for loading/saving pages now also available through the "File" menu entry in the main menu
• Access to SpeedTrader/Time & SalesBar/DetailsBar now also through the main menu "View"

• password in  login dialog can optionally be remembered

• DySen now creates a data base of all orders/fills/partial fills created by the trader. This is done for the PaperTrade account as well as real world accounts.
• Fills can be visualized directly in the MasterChart. To activate this, rightclick on a symbol in an account and choose "Hide/Display Fills".
• DySen shows fills that had happened in the past as well as live fills created by new trades.
• The fill price is indicated by a horizontal line: red for sells, green for fills. The colours can be changed through "Extras|Color Manager".
• The total amount of buy fills and sell fills is displayed below/above each period.
• If there was exactly one fill, then the display is something like "+10" for buys  or "-5" for sells.
• If there were, say, 3 fills in the period, the display were "+10 : 3".
• When pointing with the mouse at a period contatining fills a tooltip will popup showing all fills that occurred in that period.

Hot Keys:

• The SpeedTrader contains a new button "Define HotKeys"
• The HotKeys always work on an activated SpeedTrader - either as a stand alone bar or inside a MasterChart (in other words: the SpeedTrader or MasterChart needs to have the focus which is signified by a blue title bar of the window). Function key "F5" cannot be used as a hot key - it is still reserverd for "Refresh Workspace Bar"

• A study attached to an account position now remains active when switching to a page that also contains the same account
• typing into a chart or a LiveTable that has the focus opens a dialog for direct symbol entry. (This feature is only available for variants of the DySen FIDES Trader.)

• New save options when saving pages/studies/LiveTables: "Yes to all", "No to all"
• When clicking on an auto layout button in the toolbar, DySen initially sorts the MasterCharts by the current left corner and applies the layout on the resulting sequence. Hence, to change the sequence of the displayed MasterCharts simply position the MasterCharts relatively to each other in the desired sequence and apply an auto layout mode.
• For Windows compatibility reasons the "File|Open" main menu entry and toolbar button now open a selection box similar to the WorkspaceBar for loading a chart.
• Parameter input problem fixed for the Renko-Sentimentor.

• The default setting for Stop orders in the SpeedTrader is now set by default to "Stop" or "Synth.Stop" for securities traded through Pats.
• Doubleclicking on the Symbol name of a working order displays the order history of this order
• Loading historic data for the Pats Yen-contract now obeys the different price notations of Pats and FIDES
• DySen now prohibits the loading of two studies with the same name through doubleclicking a symbol in the WorkspaceBar multiple times. Please select the study to be loaded explicitly by doubleclicking a study listed below the symbols or by selecting a Template Study through the symbol's context menu.
  Hint: DySen can be forced to display an entry for a template study below every symbol by saving a template study with the file extension .stub instead of .dys. Press F5 after saving for refreshing the WorkspaceBar.

• The Pats accounts now show two light indications for monitoring the state of the price connection and tradeserver connection:
  red = disconnected; yellow= connecting; green = connected. Moreover, in case of a price connection loss, LiveTables, SpeedTraders, and accounts show price fields using a red background. If the trade server connection is lost, the Buy/Sell/Exit buttons as well as the SpeedTrader's Me-columns are displayed with a red background.
  In case of a connection loss to the Pats environment, DySen silently tries to reconnect.
  A reconnect can also be enforced by clicking on the light indicators in the account - this will also result in reloading the historical data. Sometimes this might be necessray if due to a connection loss too many ticks have been missed.  
• Pages now save and restore the accounts for standalone SpeedTrader bars
• dragging a security into a SpeedTrader that is already targeted to an account now automatically ensures that the security shows up in the account
• The Evaluators now contain an additional switch that allows to prohibit the MetaSentimentor from closing or reversing positions. If the switch is set then a positon is exited by stop sentimentors only.
• Removed some flickering when switching between different pages.

• SpeedTrader conatins a new button "Reverse". When clicked all working orders are cancelled and the current position is reversed by submitting a Market order with the double size of the current position.
• Bracket orders now contain the label "Bracket Order" in the "Originator" column of the working order list
• When cancelling a Bracket Order through the working orders list, the study that created the order is deactivated and the companion bracket order is also cancelled.
• The "Evaluator" now contains a new unit "Ticks" for specifying profit targets and stops.
• The "Value per Point" setting in the Evaluator for futures is now taken from the symbols details. This implies that for all Patsystems symbols this setting is determined automatically.
• The Pats accounts now display a new column "Cumulated P/L" per account position. (The column is added to the right of the current heading and might be dragged to a more approripate position.)
• A complete folder can be drag & dropped into Pats accounts

• DySen now applies Tick-by-Tick testing in TradeGuard-mode. This means, if you enter a trade in the middle of a, say, 60-minute bar, all stop calculations are based on the tick-development from the trade entry (not any more of the complete bar). This implies that now a ClickStop can be slided above/below the current low/high of the final bar without being executed immediately. This special behavior is implemented for ClickStops, TrailingStop, BreakEvenStop, and Trendline/Fibonacci stops.
  
  When loading a study, DySen will apply an automatic "silent upgrade and rename" from the old fashioned TrailingStop/BreakEvenStop (that purely work on End-of-Period computations) to "TrailingStop EoP" and "BreakEvenStop EoP", so TrailingStop & Co. with the above described behavior will be the default.
  
• fixed price-zoom sliders are automatically deactivated in case the last price exceeds the sliders (thus the last price is always forced to be in the zoom)
• flickering in charts removed when resizing the windows
• optimized drawing of many bars for Bar/Candlestick charts. If several bars are projected onto the same x-axis value, they are automatically joined to a "bigger" bar. This reduces the drawing effort for large amounts of data considerably.
