    So Rachel is saying that Strategy runner version 3 is not available for the standard version. She is saying it is only available for pro version? What good is that? Why should we have to upgrade to pro and pay the fee just to get the new version 3?

    Not everybody uses strategies and they don't need pro version. We should be able to get version 3 without upgrading to pro just like how we were able to use the later versions without upgrading to pro version.

    If what Rachel from Global futures is saying is correct, then this is a big downhill for strategy runner. I might have to quit using them. Doens't seem right.

    Where can we get a list of what is new on strategy runner 3? Strategy runner website isn't very helpful. I couldn't find nothing about their new version.

    Besides the trade from the chart feature, what else is updated and new in strategy runner version 3? The lite version.

    Strategy Runner V3.0 detailed features description:

    Display of contracts:
    Below, please find new features of improved contract management, available by choosing 'Manage Contracts' from the 'Contracts' menu.
    Manage Contracts Display Options: Expand Selected, Expand All, Collapse All or Clear All. Also, two tabs added: Forex and Futures, increasing contracts availability.
    Multiple expiration months: You can now choose specific expiration date for specific contract (e.g., March, June, Sep, etc).
    Exchange Spreads: Exchange Spreads are now available! Contracts supporting this feature have an additional character: 'S' in the end of contract name (e.g., Mini S&P S).
    Continuous contracts: Continuous Contracts are now available! Contracts supporting this feature have additional 3 characters: 'CONT' in the beginning of contract name (e.g., inside Mini S&P contract directory, CONT[MAR06]) months specified by supporting this feature.

    Orders:
    In version 3.0 SR has dramatically increased representation of orders as well as added new functionality so that Stop/Stop Limit Orders trigger according to conditions set by the user.
    Conditional orders added to solve issue of Stop/Stop Limit Orders being 'falsely' triggered (e.g., when market touches stop price and immediately rallies back).
    Conditions for execution of Stops/Stop Limit orders can now be defined by the user, delaying trigger of these orders accordingly. These conditions are based on Volume as well as Bid/Ask Ratio.
    Order fills representation: SR has enhanced representation of filled orders in Working and Completed Order tables under 'Lots'. Console now represents how many of the working and completed orders have been filled.
    Order types representation: Strategy Runner supports the following orders types: Market, Limit, Stop, Stop Limit, MIT, Smart Orders and Conditional Orders. Up till V.3.0, type of orders changed to either 'Limit' or 'Market' when they were filled (e.g., Smart Limit became Limit, when order was filled). From V.3.0, type of order illustrated under 'Action Type' in either Working Orders or Completed Orders table will not be modified.

    Charts:
    SR has significantly enhanced the charts and has added the following functions:
    Trading from charts: Trade directly from chart - simply place your orders and apply all exit styles via the Chart Pad. SR has added functionality so that you may place orders (including brackets) and perform additional functions with just one mouse click (or with the Confirmation dialog box). Moreover, the new ‘auto-detect’ option, enables you to auto-detect Buy-Sell action (depending on price and chosen order type) by navigating inside the chart. All active or working orders you enter are represented on the chart accordingly.
    Robust Exit Style functionality: Set your preferred Exit Style once and it applies to all order entered until modified. In exit pane, left click on the box to modify parameters, right click on the box to modify Exit Styles.
    Toolbox button (located between Sell Order Ticket button and Trading Pad button) added in order to detach exits from all Order Entry Pads, thus, exits can now be used to cover market position(s) OR any number of lots OR even to enter the market. This feature makes Order Entry Pads more compact, thus, optimizing your screen’s usage.
    Single Reboot:
    SR Maintenance period eliminated. This is great news for all overnight traders either trading manually or using one of our overnight strategies.
    SR has eliminated second maintenance period (23:55 – 00:15 CST).
