New Version Released – 10.2.5

Posted in News by tharnett on June 30, 2010

This afternoon we released a new version. There are some very nice improvements you are sure to love.

This is the first release since the implementation our new Feature Request page went up, so if you have ideas or functionality you would like to see in future versions, let us know here. Also, vote on ideas your fellow MD users suggested.

A comprehensive list of whats new in this release can be found in our Support Portal under Announcements. Here is a short list of the ones that everyone should know about as it might effect how you do certain functions within the software.


10.2.5 Major Features To Be Aware Of

  • Automatic Historical Data for New Symbols – Now any time you add a new symbol to a quote page the software will automatically start downloading historical data for you. This is something we probably should have done a long time ago. Why would anyone enter a symbol and not want historical data, duh!
  • Database Compression – By default this is off, but if turned on it will cut your database in approximately half. Good if you want to store more data. Not good if you are using charts filtered for trade size. Read the details in the release notes if this applies to you.
  • Toolbar Customization – You can now customize the look and feel of the main toolbar. Remove what you don’t use and add shortcuts for things you use often. There is a video on how to do this here.
  • Volume Breakdown Efficiency Improvements – At MarketDelta performance is critical. Just the fact we tackle tick data the way we do demands that performance always be at the top of the list when making changes. This doesn’t mean you can’t bury the software by doing something really data heavy, but we are always trying to make it better and faster.
  • Profile Indicator Enhancements – We know many of you use the Profile indicator and can’t blame you. It’s a very nice tool with lots of great functionality. Check out the release notes for the new enhancements.
