Toolset Update - Dec 10th '07

Version 1.01 of the DLL now available.

This version fixes an annoying memory leak in Cycle Detection. The cycle detection being quite processing intensive, a search depth parameter ("SD") has been added. Recent computers can tolerate a value of 5 for multiple charts. It is up to the user's discretion to set it according to the number of charts and processing capabilities.

The other major change is the new internal symbol coding, which only affects API users (The $ prefix for indices has been removed).
All EasyLanguage analysis techniques have been already amended to use the new coding. A new toolset must be imported to be compatible with the new DLL.

The new coding is as follows:
SymbolName + "." + "T" + BarType + "I" + BarInterval + "M" + Multiplier

It can be verified by displaying the EasyLanguage Output Bar (View menu):
Symbol ID: NDX.T1I60M1
NDX.T1I60M1 registered in DLL memory at index: 12
Checking idx 12: NDX.T1I60M1

This example is the registration of the NDX symbol, Type 1 (Intraday), Interval = 60 mins, and a Time Frame Multiplier of 1.
