Postby Stanley Miller » 19 Sep 2007

Dear Users,

Version 2.1 of MultiCharts has been released.

Download: http://tssupport.com/support/downloads/

It contains a number of new features and improvements:

FEATURES

Strategy Back-testing and Automation
• Support of multi-core machines for optimization added. Each additional core will be utilized at about 80%. For instance, if you have 4 cores optimization speed will increase 3.5 x. This advantage has been confirmed by Intel independent tests.
• Optimization speed on a single core has increased several times (depending on a particular strategy). Tests have shown that MultiCharts by far outperforms all the known trading platforms
• Most of the reserved words necessary for back-testing have been realized
• Expanded Strategy Properties
• Optimization criterion can be selected in GA Properties tab

General Improvements
