Is there a planned release date for the new version?

As far as "GENERATOR- Option - Only use default indicator values" is concerned, that would indeed be a major improvement. I hope however that, where an indicator shows various possibilities like ENVELOPES " Enter long at the Upper Band" and "Enter long at the Lower Band", both variations of the indicator will be considered. Surely the main point is to avoid the number crunching.

I think that these two features are very important to develope profitable strategies:

Add Break Even stop
Repair back test of Trailing Stop - tick mode instead of bar mode

In FST the tick mode trailing stop and breakeven are very efficient, but I can only forward test these. There might be very good results if the break even can be optimized.
