implemented.
Only one trading system can be running in trading mode for the same currency pair (1 UserAccount / 1 CurrencyPair); user can run many trading systems on same CurrencyPair if they use a different account for same CurrencyPair (+1 UserAccounts / 1 CurrencyPair); user can run many trading systems on same UserAccount if they use different currency pairs (1 UserAccount / +1 CurrencyPairs)
- Trading systems account and
amount per account settings have become common Trading Properties.

When trading system running in auto-trade, the OK button is disabled in Trading Properties window to prevent modification of the running trading system
- Gann Grid tool implemented.
A Gann Grid represents an intersecting series of Gann Lines over laid on a price chart; Gann's teachings stress the importance of the 45 degree line representing a 1:1 relationship between time and price (1 unit of price to 1 unit of time). When price trades above the 45-degree line it is an indication of an up-trending market; when price trades below the 45-degree line it is an indication of a down-trending market. Choosing varying rise/run values will adjust the spacing between the lines and their corresponding Gann angles according to the new values.
- Equidistant Channel tool
implemented.
An Equidistant Channel is made up of two parallel trend lines drawn simultaneously in the price window. The user may adjust the width of the channel to encompass the current price action by moving the top line of the equidistance channel to the desired distance using the mouse cursor. The user can also redraw, reposition, and change the display properties of the equidistant channel.
