Added DDE functionality to charts

Bjerksund Stensland 93 model added to Options Pro¶

Shock Impact added to all slide reports in Options Pro
Shock Impact is a matrix of plus/minus a percentage of underlying change and plus/minus a percentage of volatility change. By default, underlying and volatility percentage changes are set at the account level by a firm admin. However, custom values can be entered on the frontend via the Model Management window. Within Model Management, click the "Series" tab (1) in the upper left, then scroll down to the "Shock Impact" heading (2). Underlying Change Percentage and Volatility can be adjusted here by clicking the current values, typing in new values, and clicking the apply button in the lower right of Model Management. To switch to the new custom values instead of the default values set by the firm admin, click the properties button in Portfolio Analysis (3) and change Shock Impact Type from "Account" to "Underlying Basis" (4). The Shock Impact values are added to all slide reports by checking the "PE Change: Shock Impact" box in the Portfolio Analysis views section of the main properties.
Added a configurable matching interval to TradeSniper
Options Pro users who trade big S&P options can make use of the new reference market feature to substitute ES prices for SP prices in option sheets. This addresses the problem of having to manually update futures prices when SP futures are unavailable or thin. By default, when SP futures are closed electronically but ES futures are open, ES futures will be substituted as the underlying for SP options. ES futures can be used in this role regardless of market mode by opening the main properties from the grey bar, clicking Options>General (1) on the left, then selecting "Always Use Reference Market" on the right. In this mode ES futures will be used as the underlying for SP options even when SP futures are available for electronic trading.
