These notes reflect 'mbh' comments from 18 April through 23 June 2005 and like the Alan Lessons at dacharts.com do not and are not intended to completely document all his methods. In Ensign Software's June 2005 Newsletter, Howard Arrington's compilation of "daManual" (6 July 05 version) is presented in a one-page format. That compilation does not include these updates.
Major revamp of coding: incorporated CSS code throughout, cleaned up orphan files, unified navigation files, freshened up the look with a new template.

05 Nov 2005: Added a few new charts from Alan:

01 Nov 2005: Added Rob Chapman's latest and greatest updated Tradestation Box ELD. From Rob:
"This newer (and hopefully, final) version specifies the lines using arrays rather than individual lines specifications, so it should be more CPU-efficient. It also corrects a problem from original versions which included 49, rather than 48, 10-minute bars in the box. Be sure to check the notes in the .eld if you have any problems."

26 September 2005: For those who are using IB/TWS, there is an Ensign Beta that uses IB refresh. Per Howard Arrington, "by invitation only", meaning if you use it, PLEASE give only constructive feedback as it is Beta and not yet production.
6 September 2005: For those who are using IB/TWS as a data feed to Ensign, Sputnik has figured out how to directly import the IB backfill using the ibcharts.com program. Here is a link to How to Import Data using IBCharts.com. Note: this is a "recovery" approach, when the DTN backfill just doesn't backfill properly, often on the Sunday/Monday overlap.
