Debugger User Interface Improvements

Shortcut to clear the debug log

It is possible to clear the debug log by the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Delete.

New behavior of Add Watch shortcut

The first line of a selected text of an indicator/strategy is automatically inserted in the Add Watch dialog editor by the shortcut.

Step Over command

The Step Over command is now present on the toolbar.

Import Indicators/Strategies from Package option

For better UI consistency, the command Import Indicators/Strategies from Package is moved to the File menu.

Show Alerts updates

Now the Show Alerts flag setting is saved on strategy restart. Also, a new button Skip Alerts is added to the Show Alerts dialog box - it turns off the Show Alerts flag.

Save Log command for Tables

The following tables now have Save log command in their context menu: Streams, Watches, Stack, Offers, Accounts, Orders, Trades, ClosedTrades, Summary, OptimizeResults. This command saves a table content in a CSV file. The old command Save Streams Log is still available on the File menu. The old command Export to Excel for the OptimizeResults table is removed.

Error Limit Option of Optimization

In the previous version, when there were too many errors during optimization, the process stopped. In some cases this is not appropriate. Now there is a new option Error Limit in the Optimize settings dialog. If its value is Default, then optimization stops if there is a large number of errors. If the value is Unlimited, then strategy errors do not stop optimization.

Restart using Saved Parameters option

A new option Restart using Saved Parameters on the Debug menu eliminates the necessity of specifying all settings again if a strategy or indicator is restarted. If the option is turned off, the debugger works in the same way as in the previous version – it asks to choose a strategy/indicator and then the user must click Run and confirm the parameters and quotes. If the option is turned on, the strategy/indicator is reloaded and run automatically. All parameters are filled as in the previous run, all sources are chosen as in the previous run;

Improved formatting of CSV files

Now CSV files are always correctly opened in Excel, with the correct number of columns.
