SetExitOnClose bug ?

Marina,

I have found that under the following conditions the SetExitOnClose seems that doesn't work:

1) Intraday chart 30m
2) the Exchange close at 17:30 (ex: SPMIB future on IDEM)
3) autotrading is used in SA mode
--> the position isn't closed at the end of day

I have tested the last version 2.1, the big point value as been increased to 10,000,000 but is not enough for the future on JPY since the contract's multiplier is 12,500,000. Could you increase at least to 15,000,000 ?

It would be very nice add Monte Carlo simulation and allow Portfolio level backtesting.

The montecarlo simulation engine should able to generate simulated paths having the same volatility and correlation of portfolio assets.

I have installed last beta version of MC (2.0.717.1171) and I'm unable to use the data source lookup feature in quote manager since in the "Symbol->Add Symbol->From Data Source" doesn't show-up any data source. Is this feature lost in the la version ?
