Thank you for your ideas.
Apprentice wrote:1. Save the contents of the screen in the PNG format.
As a blogger I often save the contents of the screen, using the "Print Screen" function.
Already done, will be released in the next release.
Apprentice wrote:2. Price by Volume Chart (Based on the Volume)
I'm still discussing the volume source with FXCM. I hope we will find an appropriate solution soon.
Apprentice wrote:3. Point and figure Chart
In the development, will be released in the after next version.
Apprentice wrote:4. Combining of Fibonacci retracements and Fibonacci Time tools in a new single tool.
Could you please specify this more exact or point to an example of such implementation?
Apprentice wrote:5. Use of templates, defined collections of tools for analysis
(As on the MT4 platform)
This is already implemented, but the management of the templates is file-based and is... pretty bad. I have written specs for more user-friendly management and will push the implementation.

A good idea. I'll kick my UI designers.

A good idea, must thing about...

Hm... please write me at nikolay.gekht(at)gehtsoftusa(dot)com. It looks like we have something to discuss.
Apprentice wrote:B. Back Testing
C. Auto (Robot) Trading
In the current release we will make the first step, so called signals. This is the castrated strategy, which cannot trade yet, but can signal. These signals have access to everything, including prices, indicators, account information, trade information. In the next step we will extend it for an ability to trade.
The backtesting is... a sickly moment. It's easy to provide the basic backtesting ability as, for example, MCFX does. In that case backtesting works only while the strategy uses only one instrument, in one time frame and only the simplest trading operations such as sell or buy. I'm not sure whether such backtesting is really useful. It looks like we have to provide the full market simulation, which could become a serious task. So, I'm still thinking...
