Investor/RT 15.1 (x64 Final Release)

1. About Investor/RT 15

   Investor/RT 15 is a native 64-bit Windows 10 application. The x64 implementation enhances performance and eliminates memory constraints sometimes encountered in RT 14. All RTX extensions now execute in 64-bit as well for improved performance. RT 15 uses the same database technology as RT 14. This enables a seamless transition from RT 14 to 15 using the same database.

2. Introducing Investor/RT x64

   Installers for RT 15 and higher default to C:\Program Files\Linnsoft\InvestorRT as the install location. The working directory that RT 15 uses is the same directory as RT 14 and earlier version, typically C:\Users\username\InvestorRT. Installed RTX extensions are kept in the working directory \dllx64 directory. When upgrading to RT 15, any 32-bit extensions that were already installed (in the \dll directory) will be noted and those extensions' x64 counterparts will be auto installed into \dllx64.

   1. The Investor/RT RTX SDK is substantially improved and documented. End Users and 3rd parties can use the SDK under Visual Studio 2019 using x64 libraries distributed with RT 15.
   2. Users of RT 13 who wish to upgrade to RT 15 must first install and operate RT 14 with their migrated database. Thereafter, the update to RT 15 requires no migration as RT 15 uses the same database as RT 14.
   3. Investor/RT 15 x64 functionality is also deployed in Investor/RT 14.2.7 and higher releases. Over time, we expect to retire RT 13 and eventually RT 14 as well as the platform transitions to 64-bit releases only.

3. Introducing TradeViewer (RTX) more video

It draws lines, markers and color coded rectangles to denote the entry price and exit price of each of your trades with optional highlighting of the maximum favorable (MFE) and adverse (MAE) excursions of price during the trade.

5. BarNumbers RTX 

   The BarNumbers RTX displays a label for a given bar or set of bars that identifies that bar's sequence from the beginning of its session. Bars are numbered chronologically from the beginning of each session so that the first bar of any session is bar #1. This RTX is useful for easily identifying specific bars in a non-time dependent manner, such as for use with trading rooms, collaborations, or mentoring.

6. Act on Category Button Purpose

   A new purpose was added to the Button Indicator titled "Act on Category" and allows users to perform the actions of "Send to Back", "Bring to Front", and "Set Color" on element categories such as "All Trendlines", "All Drawing Tools", and "All Instruments". The "Set Color" action will take the Custom Color of the Button indicator and apply it to all elements that fit the category..

7. Price Statistics - Prev Day Session

   A new Period option of "Prev Day Session" was added to the Price Statistics indicator which limits the data to the day session data from prior session..

8. Leave Locked Ref Lines

   When users right-click on chart and Delete > All Drawing Tool Indicators, any Reference Lines with the "Locked" setting turned on will no longer be deleted..

9. ChartPeriodChangeOnNumKey Config Variable

   A new config variable titled "ChartPeriodChangeOnNumKey" was added. When ChartPeriodChangeOnNumKey is set to false, the number key will no longer invoke the change periodicity control on multi-pane charts. ChartPeriodChangeOnNumKey defaults to true.

10. Label Option to Shapes Indicator

    A Label option was added to the Shapes Indicator preferences. But adding it directly to the preferences, instead of relying on the Label below the indicator preferences, these Labels will be saved with presets and therefore be retained in non-standard scopes such as "All Charts".

11. Max/Min value Scaling Options

    Two new scaling options were added to the 3rd scaling method including "Minimum Value" and "Maximum Value". With "Minimum Value", the max value will be automatically determined by the elements in the chart, but the min value will be constant and user specified. With Maximum Value", the min value will be automatically determined by the elements in the chart, but the max value will be constant and user specified.

12. Volume Breakdown Volume and Delta Percent Since Low/High

    Four new result options were added to Volume Breakdown: Volume Since High, Volume Since Low, Delta Percent Since High, and Delta Percent Since Low. These results are computed since the high or the low of the bar was established.

13. Show Crosshair Price in InfoBox

    A new option to Show "Crosshair Price" was added to the InfoBox indicator. When this option is checked along with Show Data For "Mouse Pointer", and the crosshair is turned on for that chart, then the InfoBox will show the Date/Time and Price of the cursor as it moved within the chart pane. This is a great alternative for reading date/time and price clearly when the crosshair labels are otherwise difficult to read due to chart colors or other chart elements. Users may also choose to turn the config variable "CrossHairLabels" to false to suppress the normal chart labels.
