Update Details

The Update Available menu option makes important software updates available to you on a frequent and timely basis. Updates can be downloaded at your convenience and a list of changes is included, so you are in control of the decision to update your software.

This feature does not change how we currently deliver new major software updates. It simply provides another means to get critical changes to you between those major releases.

The Update Available feature has been designed to download the latest software in a seamless fashion:

When a new update is available, the Update Available menu option will become enabled in the Help menu.
To download a new release, click the Update Available menu option.
You will be prompted with a message indicating that a new update will be downloaded and asking if you would like to continue. If you select Yes, the update will download in the background, enabling you to continue working in the software without any intrusion by the download.

The list of updates since the last major release is available below.

Cancel button added to Options and Level II Options tabs in Trading window.
In the Alerts Settings window, the Criteria field has changed to Operator.
Unrealized P&L can now be added to the Balances Bar. This figure is not a balance and represents the total profit or loss for all positions in the account. If P&L is not available for every position, an asterisk (*) will display. Updates to Unrealized P&L are streaming.
Unsettled positions can now be blocked from displaying in the Positions tab of the Account Detail window from the Settings > General window.
Several new columns added to the Positions Tab in the Account Details: P&L/Share, Cost/Share, Expiration, Underlying, Call/Put, and Strike.
Clicking on the Transactions tab will now cause the tab to refresh.
