What's new?
Both, Indicators and Strategies
1) A number of new flags for the string parameters. The flags lets you define specified behavior for the parameter, such as: choose account, choose trade, choose order, choose indicator, choose strategy, choose a sound file.
See:
indicator_parameters:setFlag()
Please pay attention that passing of the indicator or strategy parameter is changed in comparison with the previous version. In the previous version the parameters for the chosen indicator or strategy was passed via instance.custom_parameters field. Now you must get them via parameter:getCustomParameters("ID") call. So, more than one indicator or strategy can be chosen in the parameters right now.
2) Both, indicator and strategies now can get access to the trading tables of the Trading Station application. You can read the most fresh information about offers, orders, trades, summaries using these tables.
