I know a lot of people were caught off guard by these changes.
CSI reported there will be a new feature in Unfair Advantage that will open the browser to the CSI News page when symbol changes happen. It isn't ready yet, but the developer said it will be in the next release.

Recent versions of Unfair Advantage provide an option to append an apostrophe/single quote (ASCII Dec#: 39) [ ' ] to Delisted instruments. I've not tested this option to see if it would work with Mutual Funds, but I do know Mutual Funds are viewed as Stock-Type instruments that can be adjusted for d...

If your CSI subscription enables Euronext symbols, I would expect it to also provide dividends for those symbols as well. Consider the image below to see if your version of UA shows Euronext symbols are enabled. If they are enabled consider asking CSI Support why you aren't getting the dividends for...

Your example shows that the contracts you are scheduled to roll into do not yet exist and are not yet trading. When you find this kind of roll forward detail consider looking at the first available trade dates in the individual Futures contract listing. This view will give you a sense of when the ne...

Your need to reach a predefined gain, exit 1-contract, and adjust the protective price is easily accomplished with a Target Price exit that also includes the script to setup the protective price to the position's fill-price. It would also require this code to be placed in a module that is named so t...

I haven't subscribed to the idea that Trend Following isn't a viable method any longer because I often see performance results that indicate other wise. This Linear Chart w/ Draw-down% indicates the opportunity isn't behind us, at least not yet. However, the flat period we've been going through for ...
