AmiBroker 4.80.2 maintenance update

A new update to official version 4.80 has been released now. It is available for download from http://www.amibroker.com/download.html.

CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.80.2 (as compared to 4.80.1)

  1. Changed %profit calculation when scaling-in is used to use maximum number of shares ever held as a "base" of %profit calculation - this leads to "most conservative" % figures, compared to using just initial entry value.
  2. Prec() function improved so it does not show rounding errors when working on integers

TWS fixed (858.6 or higher)

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.

Donate future development of IBController

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.
