Dear Omega Research Customer,
The following document contains of list of what's new in Service Pack 1.
This document will be available in the Bulletins section of our web site
Monday, 3/22/99.
WHAT'S NEW FOR VERSION 2000i - BUILD 512
Charting
Addition of Percent Change Charts
When you first create a chart, the y-axis represents the
price of the symbol. Percent change charts use the y-axis to represent the
percentage of price movement rather than price.
Percent change charts are particularly useful when comparing
price movements of multiple symbols because percent change charts allow you
to compare different symbols on the basis of price percent changes rather
than on price alone.
For more information about percent change charts, see the
Help topic, "Working with Percent Change Charts." To locate the appropriate
Help topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this
document.
Ability to Use an External Browser
You can now access the Internet from within the Omega
Research Desktop or from an external browser provided you have subscribed to
an Internet service provider (e.g., AOL, MSN, etc.).
For more information about using the Internet Browser to
place a trade, perform research, or access the web, see the Help topic,
"Using Internet Research Smart Links to Conduct Internet Research." To
locate the appropriate Help topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at
the end of this document.
Addition of Dual Scaling
You can display two y-axes in your chart window and display
left and right vertical axes. This feature is especially useful when
overlaying an indicator on price data and the indicator uses a different
scaling than the symbol.
For more information about dual scaling, see the Help topic
"DispIaying Dual Scaling in a Chart Window." To locate the appropriate Help
topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this document.
Ability to Center the Last Price on a Chart
Centering the last bar on a chart uses the closing price of
the last bar as a midpoint for the price axis (y-axis). When selected, this
feature allows the user to see recent trends without the visual bias of the
trend ending at the top or bottom of the chart window. A current bullish
trend at the top of the chart window might give the false impression that
the trend can not go higher. Conversely, a current bearish trend at the
bottom of the chart window might give the false impression that the trend
can not go lower. By centering the last price of a chart, you are better
able to evaluate the recent trend in relation to previous data.
For more information about dual scaling, see the Help topic,
"Centering Last Price of a Chart Window." To locate the appropriate Help
topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this document.
RadarScreen Specific
Addition of Built-in Symbol Lists and Ability to Create
Customized Symbol Lists
RadarScreen contains many pre-defined lists that consist of
related symbols. When you insert a Symbol List into a page, all symbols
included in that list are added to that RadarScreen page. Symbol lists are
grouped together by a common underlying theme such as exchange, industry,
sectors within an industry, markets, etc. Symbol lists are great time savers
as they allow you to very easily insert several symbols simultaneously into
RadarScreen. You can even create and save your own Symbol Lists.
Note: Symbol Lists are not available in QuoteMonitor.
For more information about Symbol Lists, see the Help topic,
"Managing Symbols Lists in RadarScreen." To locate the appropriate Help
topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this document.
QuoteMonitor & RadarScreen
Revised Number of Symbols That Can Be Inserted in a Window
Each QuoteMonitor window can contain up to 2,000 quotes.
Each window can contain up to three pages and each page can contain up to
700 quotes. Therefore, to have the maximum number of quotes in a
QuoteMonitor window, you would create two pages with 700 symbols each and a
third page with 600 symbols.
Each RadarScreen window can contain up to 5,000 quotes. Each
window can contain up to eight pages although a single page can contain up
to the 5,000 quote limit.
For more information about the number of symbols that can be
inserted in a window, see the Help topics, "Working with RadarScreen" or
"Working with QuoteMonitor." To locate the appropriate Help topic(s), use
the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this document.
Ability to Send Quote Updates
QuoteMonitor and RadarScreen allow you to send price quote
updates to your e-mail address or your alphanumeric pager. You can enable
this feature on a page-by-page basis.
For more information about sending quote updates via your
pager or e-mail address, see the Help topics, "Understanding the Quote
Update Feature in QuoteMonitor" or "Understanding the Quote Update Feature
in RadarScreen." To locate the appropriate Help topic(s), use the Answer
Wizard instructions at the end of this document.
Ability to Reset Alerts
You can reset alerts that have been triggered for
RadarScreen or QuoteMonitor provided you cleared the Disable Alert Once Hit
check box when you originally enabled an alert for a cell, a series of cells
in a column, or an entire column. In a volatile market, this allows you to
be prepared to monitor the same alert conditions for the next session.
For more information about resetting triggered alerts, see
the Help topics, "Resetting RadarScreen Triggered Alerts at a Specified Time
of Day" or "Resetting QuoteMonitor Triggered Alerts at a Specified Time of
Day." To locate the appropriate Help topic(s), use the Answer Wizard
instructions at the end of this document.
OptionStation
Ability to Customize the X-Axis of a Position Chart
You can now specify whether the X-axis represents price,
time, or volatility. This allows you to easily view how each of these
factors influence your position.

the Help topic, "Formatting a Position Chart." To locate the appropriate
Help topic(s), use the Answer Wizard instructions at the end of this
document.
Ability to Copy Multiple Positions from a Multi-Asset
Position Search
You can now copy multiple positions from a multi-asset
Position Search window to Position Analysis windows.

Position Analysis Window." To locate the appropriate Help topic(s), use the
