Update to previous post about TWS :
it seems that IB staff has fixed this problem as our recent tests show no problems with newest versions of TWS – 858.6 and higher.

UPDATE: Donations for IBController are not accepted anymore.

As you know automated trading interface for AmiBroker is provided to everyone for free. You can just download it from http://www.amibroker.com/at/
Quite recently however someone asked me if there is an option to pay for IBController because he wanted to donate the development. So for everyone who wants to donate for further development of IBController I have created a payment option ($100 one time fee) here:

If you use IBController extensively and want to donate for further development you may consider spending $100 for it. Note that it is considered strictly a donation and you won’t receive any extras in return except warm feeling that you helped the development of the software you are using and guarantee that if ever IBController changes its status (i.e. from free software to commercial one), you will have license to use it and receive free upgrades.

The most recent TWS (858.4) has some serious issues, see:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/2/34933.html?1145996463
and
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/2/34913.html?1146089324

So don’t install it. If you already upgraded to TWS 858 you should install previous version 857 from IB download page:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-bin/jtwsControl.pl?ib_entity=uk
scroll down to “standalone downloads – previous versions”.

A new version (4.80.0) of AmiBroker has just been released.

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version, with full setup, updated help files, plugins and everything else.

It is available to the public from:
http://www.amibroker.com/download.html

CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.80.0 (as compared to 4.79.0)

1. Added extra information to “detailed log” to show commissions charged during scaling and both average and current exit price
2. Partial exit (scale-out) profits are included now in trade stats
3. Fix EOD missing Friday if “Filter weekedns” is turned ON and Daily compression uses Night / Day session settings (#28659)
4. AFL Editor: Added F1 handling of for/while/do-while/if-else
5. “SCAN” now displays prices using 4 decimal places
6. Fixed problem with progress bar locking active window instead of AA window when in run-every mode
7. Fixed: Layouts messed up with multiple instances running (ext.ID: 3)
8. “Margin requirement” in the AA settings renamed to “ACCOUNT margin” to clearly show that it is NOT futures margin
9. Eliminated resource leak in ExportImage OLE function
10. Fixed potential thread interlock in Indicator Maintenance wizard (should prevent hangup especially on multi-CPU/core machines)
11. Indicator tables are written to file (broker.newcharts) after each chart insert, before and after Ind. Maintenance just to prevent data loss if AB is not closed properly
12. Symbol->Watch List->Import refreshes entire symbol tree, not only watch list leaf
13. added few new formulas into FormulasIndicators folder

ATTENTION: Existing users should pick “UPGRADE” version of the setup and should NOT change the installation directory that is automatically detected from previous installation. So to perform upgrade just keep on clicking on “NEXT” button without changing any defaults.

Today we launched new on-line service called AmiBroker Feedback Center at:
http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/

AmiBroker Feedback Center is the area to enter feature requests / suggestions and bug reports, view issues reported by others and track development and resolution/fixes of the bugs submitted.

In not so distant future there will be voting capability added that will allow everyone to show how given suggestion is important for the community.

In order to enter AmiBroker Feedback Center please login with your AmiBroker members’ area username / password that was included in your registration e-mail.

If you forgot or lost your password you can retrieve it automatically using password reminder service at: http://www.amibroker.com/login.html

Note that this is “external” list (visible to all registered users) but we also manage our “internal” TO-DO list that is not exposed to the public for many reasons (competitive, technical, etc). The “internal” list contains all things submitted in the past so there is no real reason to re-submit old suggestions if they were confirmed already. But it also does not hurt if you do.

We also reserve right to add/edit/remove any entries posted in AmiBroker Feedback Center on our own discretion.
