Fixes
(Signal Generator)
Trader68 does not support same C2 system for multiple portfolios regardless of broker account. The portfolio detail screen allowed do this. This bug is now fixed.
(Order Entry)
Orders for futures had rounding issues, when position sizing was not set to "From Collective2". It did not round price properly to the tick sizes. Also, the manual order screen was rounding prices down to two decimal places. These issues are now fixed.
(Collective2)
In the previous version Trader68, automatically ignore signal older than 5 minutes. This is now a user setting under Safeguards. However, there was bug in how it determined the age of the signal. It did not consider time zone differences between date posted send by Collective2 and the local time zone. This is now resolved.
