The constant volume bar option, updates a new bar after a certain amount of volume has completed. This amount should be entered into D3 of the “Live” sheet. Checks are in place to prompt if the values are not entered and the constant volume is set to override the default time based bars.

Below is an example of Constant volume bar charting. You will notice that each bar contains roughly the same amount of volume.

Added a box to always display the last opened position and price into a static cell. This allows the use of formula based trailing stops based on the entry price.

Added choice to use either percent of account balance (compounding), or set number of shares

Fixed issue where position was closed and reopened on the same day, which made it appear as if a position was opened without a prior postition being closed.

changelog for stockbacktest.xls

* each time data was downloaded a new embedded connection was created. These were building up and resulted in security warning messages (in Excel 2007).  All new connections are now removed immmediatly after data is downloaded.

*changed name from Stocksim.xls to Stockbacktest.xls since it’s not a simulator at all. It is just for backtesting.
