A program that keeps moving

New market: daily SPX (S&P 500 cash index, 1995 to date). It appears in your symbol list by itself.

Performance → Robustness, rebuilt: pick both axes from all the strategy's parameters (periods, thresholds, TP, SL, bars…) and compare two periods side by side on the same colour scale.

Performance → Equity: the out-of-sample stretch is shaded, with a buy-and-hold line for comparison and a drawdown panel.

Monte Carlo with bootstrap resampling (the standard method), 1,000 simulations and the final result at the worst 5 %, median and best 5 %. The previous method, random order, is still available.

AQ Editor: exports to five platforms (TradeStation/MultiCharts, AmiBroker, MetaTrader 5, ProRealTime and TradingView), opens with an example strategy ready to Test and with the symbol you have loaded. It accepts negative numbers and multi-line comments, and saves as .aql.

AQ Genesis: choose with checkboxes which indicators it uses, see live how much each one is tested and how many sealed strategies it brings, and set a seed to repeat an identical research run.

AQ Genesis, new «No edge vs market» bar: each strategy must beat its «always in the market» version, and the Hall shows what that version would have made out of sample.

Seasonal Analysis: a dot marks TODAY on every chart and on the yearly profile.

Position Size: two new cards, max drawdown in % and annual return.

Chart: CCI indicator in its own pane.

AQ Genesis, twice as fast and with a fairer share between indicators: candlestick patterns and the less frequent ones are tested much more.

«Calculating…» notice with a spinner on operations that used to keep the program busy without any sign.

TP/SL Map: suitable ranges for intraday data, estimated time remaining and a warning before a long calculation.

Import data: the file is saved by default in AniQuant's data folder, or in the one you choose.

The open and save file dialogs are now the modern Windows ones throughout the program.

Performance tells apart Profit Factor (%) and Profit Factor ($), the one TradeStation and AmiBroker report.

Redesigned About window.

The TP/SL Map could freeze laptops with integrated graphics. Those GPUs are no longer used for calculations.

Exports: single-direction strategies lost their TP, SL and exits on several platforms, and some counted one bar too many. AmiBroker now reproduces AniQuant's trades exactly.

The Walk-Forward of a specific strategy validated only part of it (it lost the short blocks, the trailing stop and other exits).

PBO came out inflated when there were identical strategies, and AQ Genesis could discard everything.

On laptops, AQ Genesis's START button could end up off screen.

Data manager → Keys opened a black window. Position Size → «Whole units only» had no effect. AQ Genesis lost the robustness markets when saving its settings.

The help now explains in detail the start-up check, updates and your license states, and what you see during the trial.

The free trial lasts 14 days. If you have the AniQuant book, email us your serial number and we will extend it to 30 days. Anyone who had already started it keeps their 30.

The help now covers the export to TradingView (Pine Script), the fifth language, which was missing.

Built with the latest version of the compiler.

In the help, many lists were misaligned: each bold phrase broke off into a separate column.

AniQuant updates itself. When a new version is out it tells you, shows you what is new and lets you install it now or when you close the program. It never installs without asking.

The license is checked at start-up, so paid instalments and renewals reach you by themselves. Offline, it works for up to 30 days.

Your license details now show until when updates and support are included.

An update no longer touches your symbol list or your data files.

About shows the real version number.

The support address is now [email protected] throughout the program and the help.

In the trial, some of the best strategies could be seen through other routes (Genesis log, Portfolio Backtest, block-mode Seasonal, AI reports).

The installer message shown when WebView2 is missing had garbled characters.
