After upgrading to PR 2P OT does not calculate the modified sharpe ratio in port sim anymore. It shows 0.00 everytime.

it is a stat I use and watch, so I am positive it was there before. BTW I was running PR 2N (never applied 2O) before

I can confirm that after installing PR-2P, Modified Sharpe Ratio in PortSim is always zero.

The MSR hasn't been corrected yet.

The screenshot functions are working for me. You might try restarting OT or even your machine.

"The MSR hasn't been corrected yet."

is there a reason beyond the fact you guys are really busy? Curious because i rely on this stat extensively when evaluating strategies, etc

Barry,

In OT 2013 Screen Shots does not work at all, also any profiles I create my chart patterns does not work at I have to click the Patterns Icon and close it then the patterns appear on my charts.

thanks

Yes Bill, our developers are very busy & have deadlines to meet for different things. I haven't forgotten about this issue, we'll fix it.

Frank, I'm not sure why your screenshot tool doesn't work - I've seen others post about the same issue, but I've tried multiple installations & it seems to work fine. The patterns issue is fixed in OT2014.

Barry,

In OT 2013 Chart patterns are not being displayed and my SnapShot in OT 2013 not working it's beginning to get frustrating always issues with the software, this takes me away from trading full time.

thank You

If I may ...

I think that Frank's point is that by now, the basic functions of the OT2013 should already have been debugged. I suspect that Bill feels the same way.

Some folks prefer to wait on installing and using the newest release of OT, because (no surprise) it is usually a bit less stable than the final release of the prior year.

Customers usually expect bugs to be fixed in existing versions, prior to introducing new versions.

So ... Barry, could you please comment on whether and when these bugs in OT2013 final release will be fixed, for those who prefer to delay their use of OT14?

Thanks.

You might try contacting support or using another method to make snapshots. There's lots of different software that does this available, like Snagit, or there's the basic Windows PrintScreen.

Again, the patterns issue is fixed in OT2014. Typically, unless it's a very serious issue, bug fixes are only added to the latest version of the software.

Barry many of the bugs reported by me long back still have not been fixed. I am not sure whether they meet Nirvana's "Very Serious" criteria or not:

Trade Calculator Bug:
http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=6540

Current Order Confirmations Problem:
http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=6566

Strategy Voting Question:
http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=6475

Edit Data Error with MetaStock EOD Data:
http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=6473


and several others. I will be happy even if they are fixed in OT2014 instead of OT2013, but I want these issues to be fixed.

That's exactly why we aren't able to typically fix prior versions, cause we're already behind on bug fixes - like those Vinay & Bill posted about.

OK ... I guess that we will just have to be "noisier" about it while the version is still the current version, when something really matters to us.

I sympathize with the difficulty in assigning resources ... however my viewpoint is that fixing bugs that are bugs and not feature requests should always take priority over any new features. Otherwise, the product is never truly stable. It's a tough balancing act, I know.

The problem that Bill mentioned, for instance, apparently was introduced mid-year in 2013. That kind of thing ... the creation of new bug with a new release, would hopefully be fixed even after the calendar has changed to a new year.

Thanks for listening. It's an old song.

Barry, I appreciate your candid admission that your are behind curve as far as bug fixes are concerned. Now let us forget what has happened (or not happened) in the past and get these bugs fixed in OT2014 (if not in OT2013) as soon as possible. PLEASE.

I completely agree, but not everyone shares that viewpoint. If I had my way, we'd get a lot more bug fixes.
