Enhancements in this version:
Added DDE functionality to charts

Bjerksund Stensland 93 model added to Options Pro¶

TradeSniper now offers market order functionality for reverse strategies. When enabled, any necessary reverse strategy orders will be placed as market orders, providing a much greater chance of getting filled. To enable this, click the "Reverse" tab (1) in the Spread Editor window, then check the "Reverse Fills at Market" box (2) and click "Update" (3). Also new for reverse strategies is the improved "Dialog Display" (4), enabled from the same Spread Editor window. This new dialog box will pop up in the event of a reverse strategy getting triggered. It will inform the user of the affected strategy and leg markets and offers a button that will open the individual leg contract windows. This will help expedite the process of reversing a failed strategy, if necessary. PLEASE NOTE: reverse strategies are only implemented in the event of unbalanced strategy legs that resulted from rejected orders in one or more legs. At this time, reverse strategies are not implemented as a result of missing fills in legs, commonly referred to as being "hung."
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.
