Version 2.2
2023.06.28
*** Please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
This is not a mandatory update if your broker is not using the "-" (minus) character in the symbol names.
Version 2.1
2023.06.25
*** Please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
Change log:

Version 2.0
2023.02.10
*** IMPORTANT - please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
Change log:
- bug fix in the flag scanning. In some cases an array out of range error appeared on lower time frames

Version 1.9
2023.02.08
*** IMPORTANT - please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
Change log:
- when backtesting the file with signals will be written to the Metatrader Common\Files folder instead of to the regular data folder
- added the input parameter 'Only chart symbol and time frame in tester'. When set to 'false' signals from all symbols given in the 'Symbols to scan' parameter will be written to the file. In this mode the pattern lines will not be drawn on the tester chart
Version 1.8
2021.12.29
*** Please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
- added a possibility to set the scanning interval in seconds. Default is 1. Can be set to a higher value in order to prevent possible performance issues on slower computers.
Version 1.7
2021.12.15
*** Please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
- added a possibility to use the indicator in single chart mode (checking only one symbol and time frame). It will then draw the patterns on the chart where the indicator is running. This option is in some ways limited though. More information in the prroduct's blog.
- corrected a bug regarding the drawing of some of the pattern lines in the strategy tester
- added drawing of breakout arrows
Version 1.6
2021.10.28
*** Please always make a backup of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make an update ***
- added the possibility to work with flag (pole) breakouts
- added the possibility to use the ATR indicator (period 14) instead of points for calculating the offset. For this reason I have removed the option to use separate point values since ATR will basically do the same work.
- added the possibility to set a custom panel title
Version 1.5
2020.09.23
*** Please always make a backup copy of the existing indicator (the .ex5 file) before you make the update ***
