Custom indicators:

• Improved appearance
  The appearance of (custom) indicator has been improved through the use of anti-aliasing (Windows Vista and Windows 7 only), resulting in smoother, less jagged lines.
• Formula parameter type
  

  Formulas now have a new Formula parameter type which can be used to pass a specific Formula (function) as a parameter to another Formula (technically known as a delegate in .NET).For example the pre-defined custom indicator MACD now has a parameter MA which can be set to either SMA or EMA by selecting these from a dropdown list of compatible formulas. Formerly indicators that need a formula argument needed to use a string parameter holding the name of the formula to use and corresponding if-statements in the indicator script code to select the appropriate formula. The resulting script code is much cleaner and easier to follow.

• Custom Indicator (global) parameters
  

  To simplify dealing with indicators that use multiple Formulas which might share some values, custom indicator designers can now define parameters for the Indicator as a whole. The formulas in that indicator can refer to these Indicator ‘global’ parameters by selecting them from a dropdown box.

• Indicator Import/Export buttons
  Indicators can now be imported and exported easily using dedicated Import and Export buttons
• Ichimoku indicator
  The Ichimoku indicator has been added as a pre-defined custom indicator. Illustrates the use of the ‘band’ graph type introduced with version 9.2
• Stochastic indicator
  Added Stochastic as a pre-defined custom indicator, illustrating the new Indicator (global) parameters feature. Still available as a non-scripted indicator as well.
• Formula labels
  

  Each formula used in an indicator can now have its own label which is used when displaying the Indicator in non-design mode and in the Data Window. For example the Alligator indicator uses three instances of the AlligatorComponent formula and with this version these instanced are named Jaw, Teeth and Lips instead of them all being referred to as AlligatorComponent. A formula label can also be made completley empty to prevent it from showing up in the Data Window. This is done for example in the RSI custom indicator which uses two ConstantValue formula’s to display the signal lines at 30 and 70
