What’s New in Optuma Version 1.2
New Features, Improved Modules, Expanded Scripting
Optuma Version 1.2 is the first major features update since the initial release of Optuma.
This update is a combination of new features, updates to existing features and bug fixes as issues are discovered.
There have been major updates to the Alerts Manager and the Back Tester. We’ve also added new charts like the Pairs & Correlation grids and Ephemeris Chart for our advanced Gann users. Of course with each update the Optuma scripting language gets more powerful and this update includes a number of new scripting functions and features (self-referencing scripts for example).
This new update will also see the release of server-based symbol lists, such as the constituent lists for the S&P500 and the industry sub-sectors, ASX200, Russell 1000, DAX Index and many more. You can add access to these as a data exchange.
The Change Log is available via Optuma Help menu will also contain a list of changes / fixes in each update.
If you have any questions please contact the support team.
