CheapTrader 0.2.4

Install

• Installer (CheapTrader-0.2.4-setup.exe) or the portable zip (CheapTrader-0.2.4-win64.zip: unzip anywhere, run CheapTrader.exe).
• You need Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). For real prices and trading, install MetaTrader 5, log in to a (demo) account and leave it open: the welcome tour finds it by itself.
• Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" because the program is not signed: click More info, then Run anyway. Compare your download with SHA256SUMS.txt (Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256).
• Orders from the app are off until you switch them on in the MetaTrader menu. Trading carries a high risk of losing money: try it on a demo account first.

What is in 0.2.4

• Saving an indicator's settings works. Every Save in an indicator's settings was refused ("Field required":
  the page sent the change without the indicator's id, which the program also wanted in the body), so a new period
  or any other change never reached the chart. The program now takes a change without the id, and changes only the
  fields that are given.
• The parameters of the built-in indicators can be changed. The 20-bar Simple Moving Average can become a 50-bar
  one, and so on: press Save and the chart draws it at once. The values are checked (a period is a whole number of at
  least 1, a multiplier is above 0), they are kept in the data folder, and Reset to defaults brings the built-in's own
  back. The code of a built-in stays as it comes; Copy makes an indicator of your own from it.
• The gear of an indicator in the chart's legend opens that indicator's settings (it opened the list), and the
  legend shows the values after the name, as TradingView does: "Simple Moving Average 50".
• A save that is refused says why in red next to the Save button (it was small grey text under it).
