February OptionWorkshop updates ⛄

Charm and Vanna charts, what-if scenarios cloning, caching market data to database, simplifying the program settings at the first launch after installation.

Updates

• Showing a dialog for name editing when copying what-if scenarios (instead of adding the default suffix - "copy").
• Added market data caching to a local database. This sets the stage for new functionality, which we are already working on.
• Improved data caching: now, the data is pulled from the market date cache if there is no connection with real-time market data.
• Added notification about trial license expiring.
• Added Charm and Vanna to strategy parameters charts.
• Improved the experience for first-time users:
  • removed old first-time setup wizard
  • upon the initial launch, the following now displays: a board of instruments with futures and equities, two option desks, a strategy chart, a positions table with randomly generated items
  • all types of connectors are added and preconfigured
• Moved our web-service for math calculations to the client's side. Now, in the list of processes, you’ll also see two processes titled OptionWorkshop.Math.exe. This also sets the stage for new functionality.
