brendanh, You may turn off the save workspace dialog box prompt by clicking FILE, then PREFERENCES and then the WORKSPACES tab. Yes, your "Current Drawdown" and "% of max" in all probability will not require lot of programming. But I fail to see how these would be necessary in designing a money mana...

I have now downloaded 4.0.1573.202 but have not been able to find any email alerts function. It is 6 weeks since your reply and I would have thought "in about 2-3 weeks" should not have...

If not from day ONE, all versions during the last 6 months have got commission and slippage wrong. For instance: For emini S&P 500 futures a $0.012 cost input actually means $12.5 OR 0.25 points OR 1 tick. For Euro futures a $0.0001 cost input actually means $25.0 OR 0.0002 points OR 2 ticks.

Marina, I already said that while Sharpe and some other ratios are internally calculated correctly (which was double-checked by our engineers) there is an error related to the display. Your Rolex argument is, to put it mildly, not quite relevant in this case. VERY TRUE. MultiCharts is no way near be...
