Some questions,

1. Tester: Added visualization of testing.
Is there a place to see how this works? I tinkered with it, but didn't see anything. Is there a particular chart that must be open, does it work only after a test has been calculated, or is there some other simple thing I'm overlooking. Sounds very cool.

6. Tester: Corrected swaps calculations. Sweet!

7. Tester: Pending orders are now executed without slippage.
Is this an improvement? Isn't that less realistic? Can it be turned on or off? How as old version simulating slippage? or can a fixed slippage be applied in a different way?

19. Added new method of margin calls calculation: CFDLEVERAGE.
Is this defined in the help menu? I could not find it here on the website documentation.

Thanks for the updates and the list of mods! Sounds great!
-Matt

In Strategy Tester with Build 196, The Comment() function no longer appears in the tester Journal. Was this elimination intended? In my Strategy Testing, the abiltiy to see signal values change in the Journal via Comment() was very useful.
