PTL Trader Changelog

1.0.5

• fixed a bug causing "wait for min profit" engine status indicated outside trading hours

1.0.4

• z-score and profit potential now update also outside user's configured trading window (as long historical data were available)
• manually opening/closing positions is now enabled in more engine states (for instance in "wait for min profit")
• modified profit estimation formula for residual model, profit estimation now disabled for cases where A<0.1
• fixed PDT protection in position exit logic
• PTL Trader does not try to initialize trading engine and load historical data for portfolios bound to accounts not belonging to current IB account connected anymore
• historical data are now downloaded and models are recalculated every day at 9:30 EST, so z-score and profit potential indicators work with updated model, instead of waiting for user's configured trading window
