(1888PressRelease) March 06, 2017 - TORONTO, ON - MotiveWave Software, a Toronto-based developer of easy-to-use high-performance charting and trading software for the individual trader, is pleased to announce the release of Version 5.0 of its MotiveWave full-featured charting and trading platform, which now includes high resolution monitor support, a completely new look and feel, and many other new features and enhancements.

Here are just a few highlights of the latest features/enhancements to be added into MotiveWave 5.0:

• USER INTERFACE - The User Interface has been rewritten to work on JavaFX. This includes an updated look and feel based on a dark window theme.

• SCALABLE VECTOR ICONS - All icons have been changed to scalable vector graphics. This provides a more consistent look/feel and sharper look on high resolution monitors.

• HIGH RESOLUTION SCREENS - Improved support for high resolution screens. You can now choose the relative default Font/Icon size to be used for MotiveWave. MotiveWave will attempt to choose a good default when first installed. You can choose this manually from two locations in MotiveWave.

• CUSTOMIZABLE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS - Keyboard Shortcuts are now configurable from the Preferences Dialog.

• CUSTOM TOOLS - Custom versions of tools can now be created from existing tools. These tools can have preset properties for components that are created (Ultimate and Professional Editions only). Once the custom tool is defined, it can be added to a tool bar.

• TOOL GROUPS - Tool groups allow you to group 2 or more tools (including custom tools) into a drop down group that can be added as a menu button to a tool bar.

• COMPONENTS PANEL - The components panel is no longer part of the chart, but part of the console/desktop. This single panel is shared between all open charts (instead of each chart having their own panel).

• DATA FORMATS - Data formats have been switched from XML to JSON format. This has been done to reduce the size and improve loading time. Version 4 formats will still load in Version 5.

• BACKUP/RESTORE - Several enhancements have been added to the Backup/Restore feature:
-- Format - The format has been changed to a .zip file. This will significantly reduce the backup size and improve the load time for restoring from backup.
-- Additional Options - The backup will now include more settings/options: alerts/alert history, strategy analysis, defaults, simulated accounts/orders, commissions, order presets, trading hours, custom themes and keyboard shortcuts.

• HISTORICAL DATA - Significant changes have been made to the way historical data is stored.
-- Improved Performance - The performance of loading charts has been improved. Especially when multiple charts are open for the same instrument
-- Data Import - The performance of data import has been significantly improved.

• TICK DATA - Significant performance enhancements have been added for loading and caching historical tick data.

• IMPORT TICK DATA - Historical tick data (in CSV format) can now be imported into a chart.
