6/10/2010 Upgrades
1. New Indicators:
  - BB Impulse measures price move as a function of the width of the Bollinger Bands
  - Percent Bandwidth is a normalized and more intuitive view of BandWidth
  - Bandwidth Delta charts the rate of change in BandWidth
  - Comparison compares the performance of a stock to other stocks, its industry group or the overall market
  - Alphier Indicators The late Jim Alphier passed away unexpectedly in 1990. He was a portfolio manager, market historian and a master technician that took most of his knowledge with him to the grave. By studying his papers we have been able to recreate three of his indicators, Expectations, Psychology and Conviction. We feel that these three are amongst his most important contributions and we are confident that these are true to his conceptions.
    - Alphier Conviction is a divergence indicator that compares the count of plus and minus days versus actual gains
    - Alphier Expectation is a supply-demand chart with specific buy and sell rules
    - Alphier Psychology is the central component of the Alphier Expectation chart that is more sensitive and shorter-term in outlook
2. New in the Chart Section:
  - Price Magnet Overlay is an overly that plots a series of points in and around the price structure that provide an indication of potential price movement. I like to think of the Magnet as indicating the path of least resistance.
  - Improved chart functionality indicator selection symbol to symbol is saved so you do not have to recreate it each time.
3. Screen Section Addition:
  - Bollinger Envelope Squeeze Bollinger Envelopes (BE), a variation of Bollinger Bands, are particularly useful in extreme market action. This function finds Squeeze patterns.
