thinkorswim release notes for version 1664

madLyfe — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:11:19 +0000

thinkorswim is going to push out last weekends delayed release, version 1664, as stated in the aftermarket screen cast tonight. should be pushed around midnight and has a bunch of new features.. here are the release notes!

Swimmers...

It's no wonder our developers are confused. When HR decided to reward their hard work with some fun, it turned out to be tickets to a SATC 2 party. A toxic combination of Flirtinis, depilatories and faux paparazzi gave them a code-killing hangover. And why would there be a movie about four people traveling to some desert instead of the birthplace of legendary computing pioneer, Sergey Lebedev, in Novgorod? This was a reward? Management quickly delivered 20 pounds of pork rinds, 10 cases of Red Bull and the unlock codes for Red Dead Redemption to get the team back on track. Whew...

On Saturday, June 19, 2010 we will be releasing version 1664. New features include:

Market Watch: Heat Map lets you see the relative performance of stocks in an index or watch list in graphic terms. Each symbol is listed in a box, with the color indicating the percentage change up or down, and the area of the box indicating relative market cap. Shift-click to drill down into industry sectors.

For illustrative purposes only

Watch Lists: The new 'Lovers and Losers' watch lists show you stocks with third-party analyst upgrades and downgrades, as well as pre- and post-market movers.

For illustrative purposes only

Widget 360: Zoom feature lets you click and hold the mouse and drag over the area of interest, both vertically and horizontally, to get more detail. Click the button in the upper right hand corner to restore the full view. Also, when you resize the 360 window, it will reopen to that size if you close it.

For illustrative purposes only

Audio Stream: Global FX chat brings live forex commentary throughout the trading day.
Monitor: Sub group feature lets you separate and track trades separately. Create them on the Account Statement page, transfer executed trades to them, and see their p/l on the Position Statement.

For illustrative purposes only

thinkScript: Auto-complete, font control and tools window options when writing code, more custom columns on the Trade page, descriptions for arithmetic operators, data types and colors.
Global: Streamlined (that means faster!) quote delivery.

Please note: Due to increased market volatility, our clearing firm is requiring any account that establishes an uncovered short option position to have a minimum net liquidating value of $5,000. This requirement for naked short option orders is effective immediately.

The highly anticipated new edition of thinkMoney is hitting mailboxes now. Keep a look out for yours! And you can always check out past editions here.

i will post the link to the TOS public release notes once they are available..

UPDATE: here is the link to the official release notes.. enjoy..

Apple iPhone OS 4.0 Keynote Event scheduled for April 8!

madLyfe — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:15:42 +0000

Just shortly after the release of the ipad(which i dont care about) they announce that the long awaited keynote and release info for the next big update to the iphones operating system.. still not sure about when 3.2 will come along, but the sdk gold was released to the devs a few weeks ago and im sure that it wont be too long now, especially since the ipad is out.. i think is would be understandable if there were some hints at the next iphone coming to the table too.. iphone 4g...? g4..? HD...?

GeoHot Finds Untethered Jailbreak!

madLyfe — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:34:46 +0000

"The jailbreak is all software based, and is as simple to use as blackra1n. It is completely untethered, works on all current tethered models(ipt2, 3gs, ipt3), and will probably work on iPad too.

Don't ask about a release date. You won't make it happen any sooner."

as stated above, this is good news for those of you who are not jailbroken with an iphone 3gs that you purchased back in july till now...
