Our development team has finally pushed out the first beta version of OTrader version 6.

We will put this early beta out to a few of our members to test the functionality. This first release duplicates everything version 4.2.5 currently provides to you. We need to make sure everything is smooth for our users before releasing it as our official product.

If you have a current license, you will get the update as part of your yearly support fees. In addition to all the future modifications as long as you are current.

Our goal is to release small quick updates to the code. This complete rewrite will allow us to add more functions that you have been requesting. This is the code base that we will use to build a more robust platform.

Our tentative release date is 2012-FEB-15. Like all software we may slip a week or two. But the early testing is looking good.

We have tried to clean the menu up for your use. The journal and risk management features are now integrated into the main interface. As we go forward, we need to add alerts, and more reports as well as more calculations for planning your trades before you get into the trading day.

Thank you all for your patience. This has been a 16 month project and it is finally coming to fruition. Your support has allowed us to rebuild OTrader and focus more on your needs!

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

The OTrader / RooTrader Team!

Sean sent an email asking; “What happened to version 4.2.6?”

We rolled back to the previous release after testing the minor change we did to the DDE update option. We are still working on pulling Google updates and some other sites for our users.

However, instead of putting man hours into writing the software for our current version, we are putting the changes into the new version that is nearing completion. We only have so many hours in the week, so, the new software is our primary focus.

Version 4.2.5 is stable and used by our users this fall. So, the changes are not needed from a stability perspective. This was only to expand capability.

Sorry Sean, I forgot to update the blog and web pages. So, nothing but coal in my stocking this year!
