February 28, 2007. Version 2.5 of OwnData released

The program is compatible with TradeStation 8.2 (Build 3848)

Added Opentick.com data feed

Added QCharts (Qfeed) data feed

Added Bloomberg data feed

Added TransAct Futures data feed

Now firebird local server is integrated in the program and this will improve the program stability and decrease chances of blocking additional processes (services) by firewall

The internal data management system has been completely changed. Formerly, each chart requested data from a data feed separately and this caused data discrepancy and considerable lagging. Errors were inconspicuous, but indicators did reveal problems as even a single lost tick could change completely the whole picture of Volume or Tick bars. For instance, received on real-time data signals differed greatly from those received on historical data

Data request algorithm has been optimized for all data feeds, improving the speed of history data downloading on some feeds manifold. This is especially noticeable on Interactive Brokers data
